"There is also that of an American cemetery built in recent days near the rock church of Madonna delle Vergini , in the locality of Murgecchia."
American cemetery?
I think it would have worked better with only the Bilbao scene. Then maybe (maybe) add the Renard scene that was cut.
This got me thinking. Joseph Campbell once wrote, "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."

When the Cologne action artist presents his 1000 sculptures in Sassi di Matera (Italy) on August 24th and 25th, cinema hero Daniel Craig (52) will be a guest at the event in the small southern Italian mountain resort.
"Here in and at the famous caves is the next Bond opening credits. Whether my there installed 'Trash People' will be seen on the edge of the film, is not yet clear. "And further:" I am an artist and not a film outfitter. And I have absolute priority here with my art! "

"At the moment, the Bond agents are sitting with my agent," reports Schult.
"The scene should probably be used for the longer 007 opening credits." And Schult also explains: "The Bond films are indeed based on product placement. Because fit my sculptures so well into the picture. Thus the discarded is recycled in art.
So much is already certain: On the weekend of the 24th and 25th of August 2019, Schult's trash people will be standing in front of the worldwide unique cave skyline of Matera during the filming of the now 25th James Bond.
Fantastico!
They paid her 2 million that's alot of money.
Per James Bond 25…conto alla rovescia

Do we know when? (I've been away)
As discussed by the Italian press, vehicles will have no access (and no right to park) at the Porta Pistola square/courtyard and the square between Via Madonne delle Virtù and Vico Sant'Agostino as early as August 16th, that's in two days. I presume that will be used for the units to park and set up shop, with trailers and the like.
Filming in earnest (closing down streets and the like for shorter periods of time) seems to begin on the 24th.
I'm not sure if this will be second unit only, or if the first unit will be there as well. I seem to remember the media were reporting Craig would arrive in September, so if it's a vehicle chase, it might be second unit only for August.
I think the entire film will be the gunbarrel, perfectly executed, on an endless loop.
The very realistic balcony (exterior) together with the detailed inside (interior: wallpapers etc) must mean they gonna shoot both inside and outside so to speak. Otherwise they wouldn't put in so much work to all the details. Let's repeat:
@Univex thoughts after me thinking the wallpapers was ugly (palm trees in my mind):
"They actually look like orange trees to me. Some of them have fruits hanging on the branches. There are also other motifs, like birds and other kinds of trees. There are few things that accentuate the feel of the Mediterranean garden more that a citrus tree laden with juicy fruit. So, I'd say Matera is Matera. Ugly wall paper or not I bet I'll all look wonderful. The light blue walls against that wonderful blue sky. The iron railings on the veranda. These guys know what they're doing."
And he's quite right.
Perhaps it starts with a fight inside - through one of the balcony doors/windows - out on the balcony - leaping from there - chase begins...
Shooting schedule for Matera
Detailed press release from the article with the balcony pic. I've used google translate if the grammar and words looks weird here and there.
Self-catering hotel in progress in Calata Ridola https://giornalemio.it/cinema/007-prenota-stanza-allhotel-balcony-build-nei-sassi/, under the balcony overlooking Piazzetta Pascoli, well integrated under the scenographic aspect with the context of the old tuff buildings of the Sassi districts, most of which in that area are to be consolidated and restructured. from the cinema a suggestion, albeit a temporary one, that with programming, will and resources reduces intervention times. The sets in the park of the Murgia are as distant as the one for the cemetery of Anglo-Saxon style with kiosks, crosses and the inevitable "Requiescat ...". And there is anticipation for the arrival of the protagonists starting with the protagonist Daniel Craig. You guess ... Before him the director Cary Fukunaga, of course, and other collaborators. Of course, for non-experts, all "top secret" and absolute silence after the press conference last July with municipal administrators, production and Lucania film commission. Matera, however, will have its return. Expectation paid off, discomforts understandable for residents and tourists alike, for the local economy that after 2019 will have - we are sure of - a promotional boost perhaps greater than Mel Gibson's 2012 The Passion.
Press release

007 is well-travelled in Italy by now, having had memorable escapades over the years in Venice, Rome, Siena, by Lakes Como and Garda, in the mountains of Cortina D’Ampezzo and on the Sardinian coast. But Bond 25, as the latest film is known for now, will mark the first time the secret agent has headed to the far south of the mainland."

Me thank you :)
I actually find the researching more fun then the filming itself. Logical thinking, googling key words, places, names, maps and what not. Keep an eye out for every single detail that can lead me further.
If this turns out well, then yes. Fresh blood is always welcome on the writing front. Well, within reason.
Had the same question been asked in 1999 referring to Purvis and Wade I might have said "Yes!!!!!". Today I sorely miss Maibaum, and Mankiewicz.
For me it depends on the dialogue. I'd hope PWB has given the film some memorable lines we'll be quoting for the rest of our lives.
In Scotland or in Swinley forest in England. We don't know exactly where first unit is working now.
I'd like to walk into the cinema 03.04.20 and know next to nothing, a very different picture to the one we had this far down SPECTRE's production.
EON are doing a fantastic job of keeping this film under wraps despite the press and internet's prying.
