I've certainly not heard anyone saying it's moved back from the announced date.
And re: Getafix questions - there will always be continued work on the script deep into shooting (in fact right up until the end of shooting) because things always evolve as production decisions and director's decisions alter to deal with day to day realities during filming - this is especially true on big movies like Bond.
Casting will have been going on now for months - and I suspect they are determined to keep names under wrap until as close to the Official Press Conference as possible - title included. I got a feeling they felt too much was leaked on Skyfall.
No, but they'll keep it close to the start of PP - I'd guess as tight as Friday 5th Dec.
I'm betting on two things - the gun barrel will be back at the front of the film - and secondly, with the new DOP Hoyte van Hoytema, it will be re-filmed - meaning Craig's Bond will be the only Bond to have a freshly shot, lit, and staged gun barrel for each film.
And hopefully they bring back Kelinman's 3D classic style GB from GE-TWINE
I wanna bet for 200 € that the gunbarrel for Bond 24 will be back in its full glory at the very start of the film.
One other thing.....I have always been surprised that the promotion material, like movie posters, for "Skyfall" featured Maurice Binder's original gunbarrel sequence. As well as on Adèle CD single cover and on the 50th anniversary logo. But the final gunbarrel in "Skyfall" was quite an...uhm....ugly thing.
Giving that fact, that EON probably always take good care of the original Maurice Binder template, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Maurice Binder's gunbarrel design full throttle at the start of the movie. Perhaps slightly re-altered, but still there. And I think the dot....with Bond in it....will be slightly smaller....and the dots will go slower.
And off course with a complete new rendition of Monty Norman's theme by Thomas Newman...in which the "da da dum" will be entirely performed by strings and violins ;-).
Not to forget all those stars "managers" always keen to spread news about them to keep them talk of the town.
Just believe the Colonel ... he knoes fscts, others dont
GOD NO!
Everything would be acceptable but this.
Unless that opening shot gets in the way again.
Although Mendes did say the hallway was a sort of gun barrel.
i've got a feeling that he will make sure he plans the opening shot around the gun barrel...he gave the impression during the audio commentary that he was aware that people were disappointed that the gun barrel wasn't at the beginning.
Will be choking on my popcorn if it isn't back where is belongs this time

Anyways, not too worried about it. I'm sure the Bond team will find a way. They always do.
interesting article. they can always cgi in the guns in post!!
Ooooh! Yes! They can have a laser gun showdown in Rome.
And then the Circus Maximus falls over the head of Hinx, but he just brushes the concrete off his shoulders as if it was dandruff.
LOL! =))
There MUST be a hand to hand fight amongst some Roman ruins - inexplicably empty and devoid of tourists, of course!
RE B24, my guess is that all is going according to schedule, or well enough anyway.
I honestly don't think that either lead Bond girl or lead villain casting has been firmed up.
Both Seydoux and Bautista were leaked, which means I don't think the other two main parts have been nailed down.
Just kidding. No seriously I kind of hope it actually starts the PTS, as in it is integral to it.
