    Yes, but it means extra time, extra cost and tampering with something that would have been better left as it was. This shows that secrecy isn t always the best option.

    Maybe. But I do think that it won't be very expensive or time-consuming because of relatively simple visual effects work. It is definitely not something extremely cop=mplicated in terms of visual effects. Even mid-low-budget films are using such tricks to polish visual part of film.

    Is that for real? What is the car? If that's the V8 Vantage from TLD or the DBS from OHMSS that is pretty cool.

    Cetainly better than to cancel filming on those stretches. They are very skilled people, so they will work around it.

    Indeed, but it's still annoying that they will have to do some additional work in post-prod.

    It's the V8 Vantage Series III, according to the articles (should this be in a spoiler tag or not?).

    Also, VG's article is updated, adding:
    Wednesday morning the Storseisund bridge is basking in sun, and the sea is completely calm. An orange film helicopter has flown a few test rounds very close to the bridge. The Bond car drives multiple times over the bridge, in glorious sunlight, with the helicopter hanging so low over it that you get a suck in your stomach just by looking at it from distance. And if there's any doubts, the pictures show that it's definitely not Daniel Craig sitting in the driver's seat on these test runs.

    New pictures from the Dagbladet article:

    It looks very similar to the OHMSS Aston in those photos

    Nop, straight out of TLD.

    Odd isn't it? Could they be using a temp Aston while the filming doesn't start? Odd it would be a historical one. Why would Bond use a V8 Vantage series III again?

    Daniel in Pinewood according to Daily Mail. Maybe second unit is in Norway now.

    Bloody hell, it's supposed to be the same car. The very same car from TLD ?!

    Strange.

    Lovely pictures, though. And the driver seems to have Dan's haircut and physique. A stand in? Maybe?

    Scratch that lads, I know what's going on. Daniel didn't recover from the injury and they had to turn to the grittiest, best Bond ever for the job. TIM is BACK! Hurray! ;)

    Now that's what I call good news!

    I love the TLD car but does seem odd. Better than having the DB5 back again but how about something non Aston? A vintage SAAB might have been cool.

    It it is not screen testing or stunt testing than we will actually see scene with two characters in the car. Helicopter with camera flew too close to car - it indicates that characters will be well seen.

    Could it be that Cary is a Dalton fan?

    We will get some stunning shots in Bond 25!

    I like the potential visual contrast of Bond 25: sunny Jamaica with red dawn, blue sea and green forests; cold, winter Norway with white snow, rocky landspace and grey, dark tones of Atlantic Road. And then Matera and potentially Greece with its own visual tone and specifics.

    This seems like official confirmation that it is indeed Bond 25 that’s using the Atlantic Road.

    I’m surprised they went the vintage route again for Aston Martin. I honestly thought we’d be seeing a contemporary vehicle used in this movie.

    Huh.. they're bringing back the same V8 Vantage? What an odd turn of events in this films developments.

    At least it's not the DB5 again. I'm really sick of seeing that car.
  • Posts: 6,811
    Really, really odd that they'd use that particular Aston Martin. How would it fit narrative wise. Any ideias?

    Very odd indeed. I'm wondering if the number plate is just meant to be a nod to TLD and not the exact car

    No doubt. Didn t they do the same with the DB5?

    The second photo in this post, it looks very much like the Aston's rego is B549WUU
    now where have I seen that before?
    :-O :D :-bd ^:)^
    Of all the Bond Aston's, this and the DBS from OHMSS are my favourite. Happy times.

    What a pleasant surprise to see the Vantage again. Pre-winterized, perhaps.

    I've been pretty vocal about not wanting to see the DB5 again for a while, and even AM in general. However, there can be exceptions. ;)

    The car from the 25th anniversary in the 25th film.

    Curiouser and curiouser.

    It is a lovely looking car, but I'd prefer something contemporary provided we're not shooting a flashback. For now I think I'm going to just tell myself that it's a stand-in for whatever vehicle they'll use on the day.

    (I realize this is irrational: why use a vintage Aston as a stand-in? Why have 2 of them on hand? The insurance on them must be hefty. Etc etc.)

    I’d love to see bond driving a different vintage Aston.
  • edited June 2019 Posts: 17,898

    In that one video the police officer says they've escorted cars into the area of shooting, that are not authorised for driving on Norwegian roads. Which cars is "top secret", and "cars you won't usually see on these roads". He couldn't confirm officially that it was Bond 25 being filmed either.

    I wonder if the Aston still has Dalton's optional extras installed. :-?
