I'm curious to know what kind of stunt caused Craig's injury in Jamaica.
Wasn t he just running?
Fair point. They are known to be chronic liars.
Here's the quote from Dencik himself (before going to Jamaica):
I can't remember when that sequence was filmed, but the original article where the quote is from was published April 25. He was supposed to fly to Jamaica the following week:
I don't know if that last bit refers to his Jamaica sequence involvement, or his total involvement in Bond 25.
Can't wait to see him on screen. He is a fantastic actor.
Just heard back from them. The fuel bowsers need to be on set by tomorrow.
I find it curious that the official 007 social media posted about the use of water for the Venice sequence on Casino Royale today. Perhaps the water will be used for a flood sqeuence or to ensure a rainy day.
Rain.
Are water tanks and fuel bowsers normally used on a film set?
I still think Scotland could be doubling for Norway. Norway is also known for its cold and rainy weather.
Are they filming today?
I worked on the set of Terminator: Genisys, specifically the Golden Gate Bridge sequence. The practical shots were done on a recreation of the bridge’s road built on the parking lot of an abandoned Shopping mall in New Orleans.
While it was not raining in the sequence, the road was periodically wet down. I was told by a crew membe that it had to do with how road surfaces photograph .
Wetting them down slightly helps with how they reflect light.
Knowing this, it’s amazing how many streets , in scenes where it’s not raining , in many films are moist.
Here is a very good read about wet streets.

Found it.
Last week, a source told Page Six that the 51-year-old actor hurt his ankle while filming an action scene, adding the injury to the list of multiple snafus he’s had while playing the hunky hero.
“This time, he slipped over on a dock and wiped out,” we were told.
Screenplay by Cary Joji Fukunaga and Scott Z Burns and Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Story by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade
Do we think that will be the way it goes? I can't see them escaping from giving John Hodge a credit - especially considering WGA's strict rules on original writers. Though P&W may have gone back to their original draft.
God this script situation is immensely confusing.
Russians hacking the election and a crooked politician? Yeah that’s definitely not the plot anymore lol.
Very much doubt Hodge’s DNA is in the new drafts/shooting script.
Beautiful
Barbara Broccoli said that Cary is one of the authors of the story with Purvis and Wade (worked with them from September to January (quite a lot)). And he is definitely screenwiter as he, Daniel and PWB are forming a commitee that is polishing script (and PWB even said he is not writing script, she only polishes it, works on characters).
Yes @Denbigh ! As I told some other forum members, I’m just excited to LISTEN to this film! Listen to the dialogue. Listen to the unraveling of the story. The three primary screenwriters (if that’s what we suspect they are), are at the top of their game.
Yep. Pretty much this. I doubt anything from Hodge remains, unless they've brought over a hook they liked in his draft and made it work with their idea.
Interesting....
I can't see a scenario playing out where John Hodge doesn't get a 'story' credit.
I'm unsure how a settlement agreement (pay out) would preclude Hodge from asking the WGA to arbitrate. Plus I remember reading that if there are more than 5 writers on a project it immediately goes to arbitration.
Basically, John Hodge is getting a credit.
Yeah, this often done at night. Not sure where/what they’re shooting for B25, but my guess would be they’ll be simulating rainfall given the volume they’ve ordered.
I had assumed Hodge’s work was shelved.
If there are any elements of Hodge in B25, they will have to compensate with credit (and residuals and all that Jazz); but if they went back to a story he had no involvement in, they wouldn’t owe him anything (they already paid him for his services and they own the script he wrote; if they decide to produce that script, or a variation of it in the future, he would of course get the appropriate credit).
A payout wouldn't preclude any arbitration, considering Hodge did the work he was hired to do even though it was ultimately (seemingly) thrown out. If I'm not mistaken, and perhaps @peter could add to this - under WGA rules, this would be considered two separate projects unless they use some of Hodge's material, narrative or thematic, from his completed draft. Which of course we don't know for sure has happened but like most others here, I don't think they have. So the case for Hodge wouldn't go very far. Unless, as I said above, they have used some sort of hook from Hodge's script and brought it into the new version of the story. However, considering the vastly different rumours surrounding the plot and settings of Boyle's potential film and the one we're actually getting, I'd be very surprised if Hodge asked for arbitration.
It's interesting though. For comparison, I'd take Peter Morgan's unused Skyfall script, which also had the idea of M dying. He didn't get a story credit. Was this perhaps because his outline was incomplete before the production froze and he left?
