_New blog posts every week with the latest information on SkyFall. Scenes on Turkish railway bridge During January and February 2012, the filmmakers of SkyFall will be shooting in Turkey on the Varda Railway Bridge in the Taurus Mountains. Daniel Craig will be on location after filming in Istanbul. This new setting appears to be the replacement of the cancelled filming location in India. Daily Mail claims Miss Moneypenny is Eve The Daily Mail still claims that Naomi Harris will be playing Miss Moneypenny even though she has been confirmed as Eve. The paper claims that the character of Eve will become Miss Moneypenny in the future. "She starts as a field operative called Eve and then comes inside the organisation as Miss Moneypenny, M’s right-hand woman." Daniel Craig hinted to the press that Miss Moneypenny and Q will return. A few months ago we found out that Q will be returning but there is still no word on Moneypenny. If this is true, the character will most probably not be credited as Miss Moneypenny until Bond 24 if she is included in that film. Scottish location to be filmed in Wales? Recent reports have claimed that the castle sequence in SkyFall will be shot in a Welsh castle. “They were looking at other venues, and I think they’re going to fake it that the Welsh castle is going to be in Scotland.The last thing I heard was that they were going to have some shots of somewhere like Rannoch Moor that’s pretty desolate and a few mountains – which Wales can come up with too." NBC interview with Daniel Craig Promoting his latest movie Girl With The Dragon Tatoo, Daniel Craig was joined by NBC host Matt Lauer discussing the new Bond film. ML: "You're in the middle of shooting your third Bond. How's that going?" DC: "It's going good, yeah." ML: "How long do you have ahead of you?" DC: "We've shot six weeks, and we shoot 'til the end of May... I can't work that out. It's a long time." ML: "Staying true to the genre and what people expect? DC: "Oh yes, and more so. A little bit more this time." _ Gallery
_New blog posts every week with the latest information on SkyFall. Ola Rapace on his scenes Ola Rapace has finally started discussing his involvement in SkyFall. "We have had great fun. Bond filming is like a playhouse, you can ride a motorcycle, fighting and shooting automatic weapons and things like that. So it's fun and has been really good." Rapace was rumoured to have a role in the movie until it was finally confirmed after the press conference. He still hasn't given us any clue as to what part he is playing in the film, but we assume that he will be playing a henchman of the films main villain played by Javier Bardem. Rapace is more used to television productions, so suddenly being a part of the largest and most recognised franchise in the world has shocked him. "Everything is bigger than I had thought, it's so much miscle, so much money, so many resources available anywhere. It's crazy really." He has said that his scenes have finished for now, but he will be returning in March to shoot some more scenes through May. Canary Warf scenes and images Last week, it was confirmed that scenes from SkyFall will be taking place at the Four Seasons hotel in Canary Warf. We also suspected that these scenes would also feature an indoor spa (and we were right). During filming, the spa was closed to the public and the windows of over-looking flats were blacked out. Somehow, someone managed to snap a few shots. To see the images, take a look at the gallery at the end of this blog post. Helen McCrory is not playing Miss Moneypenny After Ben Whishaw was confirmed as Q, we automatically thought that Miss Moneypenny was also going to get a part, with Helen McCrory seeming like the perfect actress for the role. And she even said that she would have a 'minor role in the film'. Helen McCrory told the British public that she would be playing a politicial and member of the British Parliament called Clair Dowar. Whitehall rooftop shoot Last week Daniel Craig and Naomi Harris was spotted on the roof of the Whitehall in London. This is the first time Naomi Harris has been seen in character so far. From the photographs taken by the bpulic, we can see that this is scene number 172, which will be featured near the end of the film. See the photographs in the gallery below. London's Charing Cross night shoot Cameras were being set up at Charing Cross station in London on Thursday. Sign posts have been put up stating that the station is going to be called 'Temple station'. Temple is a London underground station in Westminster near Temple Place. The shoot is scheduled to start at 6:30pm and 5:30am. The station closes at 00:30 and will not reopen again until the first train leaves at 5:40. Presumably, filming will take place when the public is not around. Aston Martin makes a comeback in SkyFall Voted as the most famous car in the world, the Aston Martin DB5 will be making a spectacular comeback in SkyFall. Pictures were taken last night at a light industrial estate near Lewisham by the public. Daniel Craig and Judi Dench were said to be in the car as it drove past, Craig obviously at the wheel. Gallery
