What a great website! Thanks. :) And especially thanks for having it available in English, too!
Maybe Austria will double for Norway? If that's the case, they probably never intended to show any fjords in the first place, but the action will be in a winter landscape with possibly some waterfalls and/or skiing.
As far as I know EON's team was looking for fjords in Norway.
But the challenge of filming in Norway is that we do not have an incentive scheme (both Austria and Italy have such a scheme).
Over the past years, Norway has lost a number of major productions that wanted to film here (such as «Thor: The Dark World», «Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows» and the TV series «Vikings»).
The Norwegian government has not yet decided whether Norway should have an incentive scheme or not.

Thanks for the update, but that's essentially just a re-reporting of the article from Baz we already discussed.
So much news recently! It's a great time to be a Bond film. We not have almost the full crew back, Bond girl rumors, Norway, Morocco, Rome, and Austria all rumored as locations, not to mention already certain script details.
Exciting.
Good news.
Meantime, I do not know what to expect next. Any guesses on what the next bit of news should be about?
That Joanne Froggatt rumor sounded somewhat fishy to me. I mean it came from the Daily Star, but who knows... What if it's Rachel Weisz or Rebecca Hall? Either of them would explain the lack of rumors, they are Daniel Carig's wife and Sam Mendes' girlfriend after all.
By the way, what about the villain? How certain are we that Chiwetel Ejiofor will play the baddie?
As for Rachel and Rebecca, urgh, no thanks. Lovely ladies but let's keep the WAGS away. This isn't the World Cup.
Deakins wasn't officially announced until the press conference in autumn 2011. The only reason we knew before the press conference that he was going to be the DOP is that he said so on the forum of his website. I believe there won't be any official announcement regarding the DOP of Bond 24 before the press conference since it's an issue the general audience has no interest in. I also believe that even without an official press release we all will know for sure long before the press conference who the cinematographer of the film is.
I agree with this. I'm sure he would want a finished project to review. And perhaps the Bond girls in contention, too? Perhaps Eon hadn't started the casting process for the main Bond girl, and waited until they had an actual character to cast?
I'd like to think they already had someone in mind and have sealed a deal though.
I doubt it is either of them, especially Rebecca Hall. Amazing actress, but too plain looking for a Bond girl.
Am I the only person who finds this somewhat strange? Surely, there has to be a crap load more to this story because this rewrite wrapped sooner than I expected and one month to essentially put together a brand new script? If it was to give the film a lightness of touch here and there ok but to revamp the whole thing, which is a massive production in a month is no easy task. Maybe I'm overreacting I don't know but the whole thing just seems bizarre.
