Tramslation:
- In a scene "Nomi pilot Madeleine and Mathilde to safety with the island in the background" (filmed on September 25).
- Scenes between Madeleine and Bond were filmed at the Cave of Poetry (September 25).
- A scene inside the DB5 in Italy includes "Leaping grenades but a sheep is blocking its way". Still inside the car, "Madeleine says someone is trying to trap her" (filmed on October 1).
- A scene where inside the Aston Vantage (in Matera): "Madeleine is about to tell a story to Mathilde, they are entering a tunnel" (October 2).
- A scene tells us that Ash, from his Defender, "coordinates the pursuit of Bond" (Ash would he finally be a bad guy?) (October 2).
- Safin base is on an island and has a submarine pool as well as an old control room.
Me neither but I have found the source from where he got all the details from. Gonna post it in a few min..
whoa, thats a lot of info!
I'll get to haa a look at it and see what i can see.
Thank you so much and also to your source as well!
I think that during the offroad chase, at one moment Bond is separated from Madeleine and the child who was with him in the Toyata like we saw on photos (maybe the Toyota crash ?). From here Bond is being chased on foot on forest, and Safin escape with the Madeleine and Mathilde (on helicoptere, the scene in the trailer when we see see Bond looj up at it) who have been kidnapped by his men while Bond was chased in the forest. And the final act is him and Nomi going to Safin island to deliver them (maybe explain "Nomi pilot Madeleine and Mathilde to safety with the island in the background" ). It's my theory. Maybe it's Ash who had indicate Safin where they was before the offroad chase (Bond thinking he is only CIA told him where he was, but in fact Ash turned out to be a "agent double" for Safin) ?

The stunt doubles for Swann and Bond shot scenes at something called Cave of Poetry. That's a real place:
Grotta della Poesia, Roca Vecchia, Puglia region. Some 2.5 hours drive from Matera
https://imaginapulia.com/points-of-interest/poetry-cave/
But I have not seen any gossip, stills, prod info, footage from that area.
It says Matera here but they didn't have the Vantage on that location. But they did in Sapri port and filmed scenes with it racing along Sapri coastline incl. using the orange choppercam (same they had in Faraoe Island and in Jamaica).
At the time second Unit director wrote a comment that they had to stop shooting temp. due to the bushfire around them at the coastline. Plus I have several stills with the V8 at the prod camp in Sapri and a map from Lotus production showing the exact road locations they used. The only thing that is missing is the beginning of a tunnel.

We also know they built a short tunnel in Matera city but that was for arrival in the DB5 with lovebirds Bond and Swann arriving for the first time in Matera, checking in, hotel room, strolling, holding hands, kissing
So later scenes not located in Matera could have been shot in Matera.
Thank you moneyofpropre2 and Contraband for the latest finds.
The only thing I know is that they didn't have the V8 in Matera at all. Otherwise we would have stills of that thing either parked or rolling.
But you're right that we don't have stills other than from the base camp, although I have seen the V8 parked with crew members on the highway near Sapri. Local media had a short story but I forgot to save the picture and now I can't find it.
I’m not sure where they’re from, but there were shots of a unit base somewhere sunny and foreign (possibly by the sea?) where they had both DB5s and V8s on location. The shots were taken from somewhere above the base, do you remember those..? Maybe they’re the Sapri ones you mention?
Yes, Sapri port
I was looking for her name. Cool. Thanks Anton
Excellent! Those are the ones. Yes I did find it strange at the time that both of Bond's cars were on location.
So I guess the options are that one of them is driven by someone other than Bond at some point, they were using two nearby locations to represent different places for different points in the film (but then why have both cars out?), or he returns to the location later in the film. I guess the latter seems more likely judging by the fact the DB5 looks unlikely to survive (what we think is) the opening of the film.
I suppose the big question is....[BIG SPOILERS BELOW]
One thing we have overlooked is that the majoirty of the film takes place 5 years after the events of Matera. Could Mathilde be Madeleine and Bond's daughter? Or did she have the baby with Safin?
A big point about the Vantage scene is that Bond is not in the scene. It's just Madeleine and Mathilde........If I had to guess, the ending is:
It seems inevitable from this rumour that Bond dies at the end of the film.
That's Allegra Schettini, Mathilde double:
Translation, please?
From the production sheets, I noticed that there’s a double for Mathilde, Allegra. Now I’ve found this video of her talking about the experience on the Bond’s set. For those who don’t know Italian, she says that they filmed in a rocky beach near Sapri (the Cave of Poetry probably); she was sat there playing with a stick and looking above her where a plane should pass by. Then Madeleine should hug her.
She also saw Mathilde (?) but they couldn’t take photos neither with her, nor of the set.
Another detail: she was chosen as the double for a French girl of 5 years
Here’s the link https://www.facebook.com/SapriLiveWeb/videos/2129911850444102/
This is key.
Mathilde's parents...
I think she is. She seems different from the girl in the interview. Look at this, I don't know if it was posted yet.
If this was the intention all along, I wonder if Lea Seydoux's pregnancy was another factor in why it took so long to get the film off the ground in the first place.
No still posted. Try again
