A Buckingham Palace spokesman said, "Buckingham Palace is involved in a number of filming projects during this special Jubilee year and we would not go into details of any particular project until nearer the time of transmission."
Of course it could. We'll just have to wait and see what the outcome is.
I will say though, London hosting the Olympics, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and Bond turning 50, it would be a shame not to mark all three in the same way somehow.
This year, should make me proud to be British and this would go a long way to showing off the UK in fine form, to the entire world.
It sounds extremely epic, not mention would bring about 1 Billion people's attention to Bond. Biggest marketing campaign of all time?

Me -
'Hey! Can you confirm whether or not the Games start with Danny boy Craig as Bond getting his mission from Her Majesty?'
and Arnold replied -
'I m doing closing and ParalympiCs closing.not involved in opening.'
I've asked him if it sounds plausible, so I'll keep you posted!
Its also being reported everywhere on twitter that he is indeed opening. If he's not, Eon better cook something up, quick!

Well I'm on board now! I's just scoured The Sun, and they have come clean to a completely different story as being their April Fools Prank!
So - its gonna happen \:D/
That's great news! Worldwide publicity for Bond, makes the Olympics much more interesting. Glad it wasn't a prank, could've made me look a bit foolish.
I stand my ground - its valid.
If this isn't an April Fools joke, someone may want to kick the publicist over the timing of this story.
Link's not working. When I clicked on it, the site said the story had been removed.
Thanks for the update Germanlady! Excited for the summer :)
I can't see any way contractually, that EON would let the star of a hundred million dollar movie get involved filming anything like this while in the middle of shooting Skyfall, think about the insurance issues for one thing.
And given all the recent activity, not one single picture, anywhere, tweeted or blogged or anything else of James Bond jumping out of a helicpopter, in London, how did they manage that?
Maybe they haven't done it yet. And we all seem to under-estimate the power of special effects (if Craig doesn't actually do it at the opening).
The article said it was filmed Tuesday last week, both at the Palace and the Helicopter scene, I just can't see it, and I think it would be great, I'd love to see Bond opening the Olympics in London, I just think the timing is all wrong.
And it was in The Sun, on April 1st.... :-q
That's the thing, most of the sites that originally posted it are owned by newscorp. It would be cool but I doubt it's true tbh.
