The Land Cruiser chase plays out in Norway (with half of the chase shot in Scotland for practical reasons). We know Safin is russian, we have cars with russian number plates and the bunker wall has russian text but I can't find anywhere that his base is located in Far East Russia. We only know it is on a remote island somewhere (arial/location shots of Faroe Islands).
Hiding the rest so I don't get yelled at:
Lisa-Dorah Sonnet's (Matilde) italian look-alike is named Allegra, and not a stunt-double but picture double. Big diff :P
The V8 Vantage does not get destroyed in the woods. Why? The call sheet says scene 253 with Swann driving the V8 into a tunnel in Matera with Matilde by her side. And she's gonna tell Matilde a story. And 253 must be the final scene almost
Yes, correct with the rebuild of the cabin but they did that in UK. I think it was Swinley Forest Buttersteep South which is the same woods they filmed the foot chase in
Maybe Carol Bouquet?!
Yes I know all this, I carefully followed this thread. XD
The idea that Safin's base is located on a remote Russian island close to Japan is a theory, but makes far more sense than having his liar in the Faroe for obvious reasons.
Didn't remember about the V8 and the fact that it isn't destroyed at Swann's cabin makes more sense since
NTTD came up briefly regarding its release in November. Wishaw had no further information to add.
That’s interesting. I could see it playing out that way, but I don’t remember hearing anything about a castle/safe house. Did they film briefly at a castle?
You're right: the shirt holds some clues. But the decor does not seem to fit what we'd find in an old country house. But that's just my take.
BTW, did this image pop up in this thread? I may have missed it. More clues here--note where CJF is pointing. Is that the script? If so, it certainly isn't at the end. Of course, he could be pointing out something earlier, for frame of reference or context. Notice also that the edges have different colorings, which likely refer to different drafts. Very interesting.
I had not seen this before today:
They used a castle in Scotland as part of the base camp during production. That's it.
Gotcha.

The other thing we don't know is how Jack the Bulldog will return. Royal Doulton confirmed his appearance in NTTD.
He was last seen sitting on Bond's coffee table in SPECTRE.
Does that mean we will return to Bond's flat? Has he taken it with him to Jamaica? Or does he gift/bequeath it to someone else? Madeleine? Mathilde? MP? ESB?
Did M leave something inside him for Bond to find?
I actually thought they should have done that in SP, she should have left that message in it.
With NTTD i think there wil do something with her painting and the new M. I think something about a pen or something that shine over it. Or mabey even more simple thinking like a red photo room in special water. Whyle see painting and symbol of her ghost/solace is stil here and M his frustation are already enough.
"And this is the letter M. As in moo. The cow says Moo. Get it?"
"That is very interesting. Thank you so much. How many letters are there?"
Scriptreading was a tedious process.
Anyone have any other shots of it?
One thing to note is that Madeleine has completely changed her attire, somehow. Between the escape to the cabin with Bond and the end, she has changed her attire. I'm still not sure what this might indicate, but it is something interesting to notice. It's far too dark to make out, but I do wonder what she was wearing in the scene when she finds the mask - it appears, at least physically, to have a round neckline, much like the brown top she sports in the above picture.
In saying this, this also throws the chronology of the following picture into contention:
Look at the sleeves on the woman. They are pretty much the exact length of the brown top that Madeleine is wearing in the first picture. So would this mean that this scene is actually of Safin tracking down Bond and Madeleine in the cabin as depicted in the April version of Empire magazine?
Thank you! Who is in the rib boat? Swann, Mathilde, & Nomi?
Yes sir... It even says so in the call sheet although they used a doll for Mathilde. The guy is just a crew member
@DonnyDB5 Read the Call sheet
And I got one more thing that it is cool:
The stony beach/cave is Arco Magno (Spiaggia dell'Arco Magno), San Nicola Arcella, on the italian west coast. (I think it is the same beach with Lashana, Swann, Matilde, but they shot the rib boat down the coastline)
Read the related call sheet
Can I have the full upload of the call sheet in the final picture? Also, thanks for all the extra shots of Nomi and Mathilde as well as the boat.
What I’d like to break down more, is the Norway car chase scene. I’m just perplexed as to how it plays out because from what we’ve seen, the Toyota along with the Range Rovers are primarily driving through a river & vast landscapes. Yet, in one of the BTS videos that leaked online a while ago, it appears 2 of the Range Rovers are chasing the Toyota on the Atlantic bridge.
Perhaps the chase begins on the bridge & ends in the countryside?
