Yes, sorry. They're using an Arri Alexa XT M (digital) for Aerial shots only.
They are. They're just using VistaVision for a few scenes, which is a little better than 35mm film but not exactly 70mm.
Yes, Kodak 35mm is the film used. Panavision is the anamorphic process. The Panafelx XL2 is the camera being used.
Hinx looks so menacing.
I missed the bridge in the background, thanks.
Looks like an interior shot, the walls behind remind me of the new MI6 underground offices seen in SF. Also a shelf full of stuff and a motorcycle, maybe a nod to an old Bond film. I'm thinking of Q's lab..
Do you know which clapperboard had the....highest scene number?
But in all honesty, IF we have to compare Mr Hinx with a previous Bond henchman, then the first one that comes to my mind is Donald "Red" Grant.
Both Grant and Hinx look quite dangerous, but never they look as cheesy as Oddjob or Jaws. They look like the evil opposites of James Bond. They look like counter-agents to MI6's agents. And they are willing to protect secrets whatever it takes.
Personally, I do think that another memorable scene of "SPECTRE" will be an intense fight scene between Mr Hinx and 007 near the end of the film. One that obviously will be filmed at Pinewood Studios.
I agree with the distinction. And a lot of henchmen were poor men's Grant. Even some of the good ones were basically good but not nearly as brilliant and amazing.
I think Hinx will be in his function a henchman, but without the most comical aspects of Jaws or (to a lesser extend) Oddjob. His straight face, angel of death look, this channels Grant more than the others. He kind of looks like a Renaissance assassin.
Spoiler tags plz
Seriously...? Nice spoiler...

Yeah right. Mr Hinx' only lines will be: "Aah aah!!". No way ;-). I think it's a matter of opinion. For me Grant is a henchman. And is the definition of "henchman" in part not "rival operative"? No, I think Mr Hinx is more of a Grant than an Oddjob.
