I just had a look at Kjetil C Astrup's own website. Maybe some stuff from there might give an indication how the underwater shots might look like?
@Benjamin_Weekly69 I'm off topic, but if this is true I find it very sad.
That last video, admittedly, was very impressive visually.
There's some nice shots in there for sure. Imagine ice, some icy clear blue water and a well-choreographed underwater fight, and we might have an idea what the sequence is about.
This sounds like Craig didn't finish filming his scenes in Jamaica. Will they return there later? Is this even possible?
This whole thing just doesn't make sense to me.
Wasn't this supposed to have wrapped by now? What's the latest in terms of Bond 25's return? From the looks of things, perhaps Marvel are using the Atlanta Road.
Could two big Hollywood productions be shooting in Norway next week? It seems unlikely since a lot of the Norway crew who worked on Bond 25 are now on Black Widow.
There wasn't much coverage from Lutvann, where they filmed the underwater stuff. The area was closed off, if I remember correctly. The only photos we've seen so far are photos like these by Dagbladet and other local media, and a video (again by Dagbladet) that had a reporter walking around the area they were shooting.
The media only reported that the Sæbø location shoots were over, which was confirmed by Truenorth. They then moved the production to Åndalsnes, where that big ship housing the crew and cast is anchored. According to VG, they couldn't use one of the few hotels in the area, as that was booked by the Børning 3 production.

I'm sure they can. We'll know in a few days how things turn out.
And he keeps coming back for more. Tremendous.
They have deleted the article... A case of making stuff up themselves again?
Airplane lands with equipment for film shoot on the Atlantic Road.

Cool looking plane, though.
Extremely happy to see An-128 plane used by Bond production (I hope) as this plane is from my native country Ukraine)
Interesting! The headline suggest it's carrying equipment, but you never know – it might serve more than just one purpose. Remains to be seen which production it's for.
The local newspaper (Romsdals Budstikke) have updated the front page link with another image:
If production group and all the equipment for filming is arriving in Norway today then shooting might start tomorrow. I think that today is a day to prepare. But maybe we can get some photos of crew today.
One of the typical things Eon does when it arrives on location is take a photo with the cast to announce filming. It's exclusively done only for the locale press, but it's a tradition going back for years now.
I imagine it's a deal done with the local governments and tourist boards who approve filming. Mainly to promote the country and sell the fact Bond has arrived.
If Bond is back in Norway - and the tax credits story is accurate - than I'd expect a shot of Daniel Craig and a token cast member to be online soon.

It would also be a great chance to show Daniel back on set after the injury. A simple opportunity to generate some more publicity.
But now comes the million dollar question: has Craig already recovered fully to jump back into filming? The two weeks off were officially announced on the 22nd of May. We know that the operation itself had not taken place by then. The two weeks recovery are not over yet.
I still think that only a 3 day shoot on the Atlantic Road is too narrow to pull off the driving (chase?) sequence shot from afar, close-ups of the actors *and* possible stunts. So my guess remains that the Atlantic Road shoot from the 5th to the 7th is second unit only, and director and principal cast will be flown in later to do other scenes.
Yet another article behind a paywall…

Would be great if they did some sort of announcement. Wouldn't count on it though. As for the incentives, that's been confirmed by the Film Institute long ago (see "B25" in the announcement).

Daniel has problems with his knee, it allows him to film car chase scenes. Classically legs are not visually required for car chase scenes. If scene contains some running stuff then yes, Daniel's problems with health will be obstacle, but classic car chase scene on Atlantic Road can be done with Daniel, even with problematic knee.
And we saw photos of Daniel in Pinewood. Probably he returned to filming some time ago.
They could shoot a car chase on the Atlantic Road without Daniel in any car at all. They could shoot plates on location and put him in the car in the studio and composite the two, and we'd never even know.
"Rumours have flourished about «James Bond» coming back to the country after having been in Nittedal two months ago. The helicopter company that also worked on «Black Widow», has been informed that it’s Bond that will be filmed on the Atlantic Road in North-Møre starting Wednesday.
It’s worth noting that the 25th Bond film receives 47 millions through the incentive scheme. «Black Widow» is not listed."

Interestingly, the Marvel production hasn't received any incentives. That might suggest a limited shoot in Norway for Black Widow, and perhaps that will mean that Truenorth will be working on Bond going forward. Then again, Marvel Studios probably have a lot of funds available, being a a subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios.
Why not Rapid E?
Because it's a four door saloon. A sedan. We haven't had that since TND's 750iL. It's a boring choice, given that Aston Martin has been producing brilliant new vehicles throughout the last two years. Bond needs a vantage, a DB11, a DBS superleggera, a 003, or a Vanquish Vision. Not a four door saloon. I don't care about it being electric or not, just don't make it boring. Even my roadster is less boring than a Rapide.
Didn't we see a white Porsche Panamera being followed by a mini camera rig at some point, regarding the Atlantic Road? Maybe they were training with a car from the same segment as the Rapide? I hope it's not the Rapide, but hey, if it is, at least its an AM.
The fact that the DB10 doesnt still annoys me.
Some more from a website covering things in the area of shooting, by the looks of it. The stuff at the bottom is unrelated, but from the first four images it seems like things are being prepared. Notice the road sign in image number two, indicating that the road will be closed up to two hours at the time between June 5-7, from 6 AM to midnight. From the website:
"Many rental cars from Hertz with a large crew has arrived in the area; mainly Kårvåg. Many people wonder what's about to happen. The road will be completely closed, but it will be available to pass through for people traveling, etc."
