I keep asking myself, why the hell Daniel Craig is always with his two private securities? Of course he is a star who doesn’t like to be bothered and all that, but c’mon, he’s not filming in dangerous places, and he is not an arab sheik.
Agreed!
Yep. He’s focused desperation...
I haven't read them. I've just looked at the photos. The latter are obviously spoilers too but I imagine to a much lesser extent. I watched a few videos of the car chase in Matera but I've stopped with the videos. Anyway, I also definitely get FRWL vibes seeing the train station photos. I went to the FRWL train station when I was in Istanbul. Always like going to a Bond location...
That, is a good thing.
Absolutely. It is maybe coincidential, but Cary Fukunaga has this documentary-style, improvisational style of filming. Just watch "True Detective" season 1, "Beasts Of No Nation" and the wonderful "Sin Nombre". Fukunaga is also very acquainted in television. So it makes sense NTTD has a slight retro-feel to it. Less perfectionistic as with Sam Mendes, and more...like you say @Talos7 :-). These are bloody interesting times!
Yes but we haven't seen much though. Hope the whole film is 60's consistent.
The problem is that James Bond always wore a suit back in the day.
We don’t do that now. I mean literally who wears a suit just to go out? Businessmen don’t wear suits like that used to either. Unless you’re working a high profile job.
Craig’s last two films were stuck in that weird timeline where they were trying to fit the 60s Bond style in to present day.
But when I know beforehand that "Bond goes to Miami" or "Bond goes to China", the balance is off when everything is shot somewhere else.
Would it be fine with you, if you learned that Bond 26 takes place partly in New York, and every scene from there was shot somewhere else?
It would be fine, but for such a city I'm sure at least establishing shots would be used as it obviously has a distinct lanscape. Another example is St Petersburg in GE. A lot of that was created in the studio, can you tell where the location filming is and where the studio location is in the film? Can you tell that St Petersburg airport is in fact the Queen's Stand at Epsom race course?
very good video , EXTREMELY spoilery
The current record I believe is Hunger Games Catching Fire which is 50 mins long...
I mean, this is great and all, but what is it with Bond directors and chasing records, lately? ;)
Thank you for the translation @Torgeirtrap , very much excited to see what he brings to the table. Seems like a genuine actor.
If we look at just the 2nd unit and 1st unit location filming for those movies, there is no change for Spectre, but Skyfall drops two, Macao and the mystery island, both Pinewood backlot filming locations. Quantum's number falls only one as Russia was Pinewood backlot, while Haiti was filmed in Panama and Bolivia was actually Panama and Chile; so here is an example of multiple locations standing in for one. Casino loses the most with Pakistan (Pinewood), Uganda (Pinewood), Miami (Prague) and Miami airport (Prague and Surrey, UK), Montenegro was doubled by the Czech Republic. So, out of eight story locations, Casino only filmed in three, Nassau Bahamas, UK (Pinewood and Dunsfold Aerodrome Surrey), and Czech Republic.
At the moment NTTD has four filming locations, Norway, Italy, UK (London and Scotland) and Jamaica. We know Jamaica and Pinewood filming also double for Cuba. It looks like the Faroe islands could be a fifth filming location. But, it could be that NTTD, like Quantum, will see multiple locations doubling for one. From the car number plates seen, I think coastal Norway and Scotland are actually Russia and the Faroe islands might become Russia too; but I think the snowy Norway scenes are actually Norway.
So, we know Norway is about 15 minutes into the film and Matera is from about 20 minutes into the film to almost 40 minutes. Jamaica is expected by 50 minutes and Cuba not long after. Bond is definitley in Cuba by 75 minutes and that apparently lasts until Bond gets to London at 97 minutes; is 22 minutes too long in Cuba, as long as Matera? After London, the assumption is Bond goes to Norway, which I think is Russia. And as far as we know the film ends there. But where is the PTS? The theory was Matera was the PTS but the clapperboards have shot that down. Does NTTD have as many story locations as Casino? It's possible.
I'm not so sure I agree 100% with your policework....
This is in reference to a single action sequence. I can't imagine a 50 minute action sequence in a Bond film. I assume the Twitter guy - who seems legit - is stating that the action sequences will exclusively use IMAX.
Also, the same dude posted this:
So.....it looks as though @antovolk has been right for months and months - the trailer is attached to Joker.
Also, great video. Is it just me, or does anyone else just see James Bond and not Daniel Craig? He has really nailed this role.
Excellent. There are a lot of scenes we have heard about that still need to fit in. Where does Blofeld and the so-called interview with Swann fit in? How about the scenes at Porton Down? And no-where-to-be-seen-during-production Malek? And then there was a truckdriver delivering goods to Pinewood that oversaw them shooting Bond running around some containers.
This is like trying to solve a puzzle with half of the bricks missing. They haven't really fed us with the same amount of clapperboards like they did with SF and SP, so the PTS is anyones guess. Scene 10-15 in Norway could easily be right after the main titles.
The scenes the delivery driver saw with shipping containers are related to the 2nd unit filming which took place in Kingston, Jamaica
Just conjecture.
Could easily be filmed all on stage at Pinewood. Maybe a splinter unit will or have filmed establishing shots of the actual Porton Down. It wouldn't require first unit, and could be done quickly without to much fuss.
Malek is a mystery. And I really love that no-one knows.
