Looks very hush-hush, as nobody will confirm what the building is going to be used for, but according to Dagbladet, it's work done on behalf of the production company True North – the same company behind the incentive application for Bond 25.
My question is, why film in Nittedal? This doesn't fill me with the same anticipation as locations along the coastline of western Norway would…
The Austrian lake location (if that's where it was) in SP was great but barely used. Such a waste given how long the film was.
If it doesn't work out with her, I'd still be excited if they pick an unknown. That model looks intriguing too.
I am getting a strange mixture of Live and let Die Skyfall and Spectre from all the news...
That bit is a bit lost in translation, by the looks of it: "…brøyte isen på vannet", as the Dagsavisen article mentions (referring to the VG.no article), would translate as "clearing the ice on the water".
The VG article must have been edited afterwards, as there's no mention of this in that article now, but instead they mention that "There's a cabin being built, and a big open space has been cleared, which might function as a parking spot for an estimated hundred cars – or several trucks."
It's really a location which looks like anywhere in Norway. Might be the point, but still…
It's just nice to see this page restored to its former glory for once haha
agreed
Since the article was edited to "…and a big open space has been cleared, which might function as a parking spot for an estimated hundred cars – or several trucks.", it's probably just for practical reasons. You never know though.
Then again, that's happened before. Case in point, at 1:11. ;)
An application letter concerns a request about driving motorised vehicles in the area. It's also submitted a request of:
- construction of temporary tents and (parking) space for trucks
- construction of a temporary parking place for motorised vehicles and a temporary road
- construction of a 12x16 meter long temporary building, as well as a smaller building
Edit (this bit wasn't included in my post for some reason):
Communications advisor Gro Rognmo in the Norwegian Film Institute tells Nettavisen that she doesn't believe this is related to Bond 25, and that they've started production in Norway.
"They're probably considering other places to shoot, and they have until April to accept the offer we have given them. We do hope they say "yes", and that there will be production of James Bond in Norway", Rognmo told Nettavisen early Friday afternoon.
"No, I don't believe it is it (B25), but everything is very secret regarding this production, Rognmo says, adding that she doubts that the production of the upcoming Bond film has started – not at least since Cinema Blend just reported that the script was being rewritten.
"No, so I don't believe this is shooting of James Bond", she says.
Everytime I've heard someone bring up this possibility, they've wanted it to be done right, which means we'd need Waltz to return and the film to be set in Japan. None of the locations we have seen even remotely look like Japan. So I think it'd be best if they go for something else for the actual title, which I think they will do because I don't think a film has ever stuck with it's working title.
Although, like you touched upon @AgentM72, I'm sure Skyfall always had that as its title.
I know right, just shows how lazy journalists are. Also, one of the articles I read said they didn't know what Shatterhand meant. Do your research for gods sake! It's your job.
I find Shatterhand very inspired as a title. Far more than Spectre.
Regarding the Bond girl rumour, I think Lupita is a great choice. It's only Malik as a villain I'm really skeptical about.
Any actress, unknown or famous, is allowed to audition for a Bond film. That's actually an old trick by Eon, as it gives them free publicity during times there's no official announcement.
If you're a model or an actress and if you want pieces published on you, you ask for an audition around the time filming is about to begin, then your agent spreads the news to various sites and magazines. Geri Halliwell did this stunt when she was out of the Spice Girls. She was never seriously considered, but it still put Bond in the news.
Similarly, most of the stuff about Craig leaving the part is dramatized with the complicity of Eon, the same it was with Moore in the old days. Sure, they could say when there's a rumor that Craig had promised them to return for a fifth entry, but some ambiguity paves the way for some fluff pieces in the press about who is the favourite to be the next 007 (Elba, Hardy, Hiddleston, Saul Rubinek), about the rumored salary for Craig should he decide to come back, etc. This time, it went a little too far with the "I'd rather slash my wrists" comment that was taken literally, but most of it is a trick to get free publicity.
Same for the singer of the song, same for many, many other things. Eon Productions knows by heart how to play the tabloids strings, so they do for free a job many studios have to pay to get.
Is this for definite Marketto? Great news if true? And thanks for posting too!!
She could do handle action scenes in Bond 25 for sure if she lands the role? I too hope she is a no nonsense villain. Only time will tell now but thank goodness we are atleast getting something fresh and new to discuss.
Name the film something beginning with S
Just a little poem.
Hopefully, we get some official wording on this and get the ball rolling.
