New blog posts every week with the latest information on SkyFall. SKYFALL Video Blog with Production Designer Dennis Gassner Craig and Marlohe spotted on luxury yacht Daniel Craig and Berenice Marlohe were spotted last week on a luxury yacht off the coast of Turkey. They were joined by Sam Mendes and Barbara Broccoli. We suspect that this scene, although shot in Turkey, is probably doubling for somewhere east of the Mediterranean due to their clothes.

SKYFALL Motorbike stunt Before production was temporarily stopped by severe weather conditions, it has been reported that the SKYFALL team have been shooting a motorcycle stunt sequence in Istanbul across the roofs of buildings throughout the city. Towards the end of April, Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes will be shooting on location in the neighbourhoods of Istanbul, possibly Eminonu Square. At present, we understand they have been filming in Bankacilar Avenue, Aynacilar Street, Sultanhamam and the Grand Bazaar. Production is expected to finish in Turkey on 6th May. A turkish video sprung up during the week on DailyMotion showing two stunt men (one doubling for James Bond) shooting through the city on motorbikes. A media report shows footage of one of the stunt men standing by a shop with the window smashed. Whether this was part of the film or not is unknown as the media are already claiming that "the stuntman swerved to avoid hitting extras while careering through the Grand Bazaar at high speed" Producers quizzed on Adele for SKYFALL Theme As the cast and crew were being interviewed last week by the press, Barbara Broccoli was asked if they had considered Adele for the title song. "We haven’t picked a song yet or anyone to sing it," she said. Craig joked "How about Adele?", to which she replied "You know, she’s wonderful; we love her, so, it’ll be great if she would do it, but we haven’t got any -- we haven’t made any decision yet. Watch this space." New blog posts every week with the latest information on SkyFall. WARNING: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS SPOILERS SKYFALL Photographs released Firstly, before 007.com released the official photographs, we saw a few new pics in a French Magazine called Studio Ciné. Like the BBC, Studio Ciné journalists were invited to visit Pinewood Studios during filming and took some shots. Also in the magazine, Sam Mendes discussed the characters saying that none of the characters have been pushed to such limits. He also hinted that characters from the past are returning, suggesting that Q will not be the olny character we recognise. Jany Temine also commented on her role as costume designer and let slip that Berenice Marlohe's character is actually a 'femme fatale'. (A femme fatale is an attractive and seductive woman, one who will ultimately bring disaster to a man who becomes involved with her.) As well as the magazine, 007.com released a whole set of photographs on their FaceBook page. These can be seen in the gallery below. James Bond visits Japan in SKYFALL According to a recent report by MovieFone, SKYFALL takes Bond to an old Japanese island which has been recreated at Pinewood Studios. "The abandoned Japanese city, complete with tattered statue of a forgotten hero -- which looks like it weighs a ton… misleadingly." Ola Rapace on set As one of the official SKYFALL images revealed, Ola Rapace was on set in Turkey. He told the press that one of his scenes was a motor bike stunt from a bridge onto a moving train. This information was leaked early in the production when the crew were still scouting for locations. He also revealed that his character is actually called Patrice and that when it came to casting Rapace, production executives wanted to hire a stunt professional as the character's role includes high-action. Sam Mendes insisted on casting Rapace. "The tried out a huge number of stuntmen. I was incredibly flattered and happy that he wanted me to do it. Sometimes I feel this world is ridiculously big," Ola says. "But I am enjoying every second. The job isn't much different due to the fact that there is so much more money involved." According to the paper, it is Patrice whom Bond will fight in the pre-title sequence. Daniel Craig interview on set MTV caught up with Daniel Craig on set at Pinewood Studios and asked him about the feel of SKYFALL. "I sat down with Sam Mendes two years ago, three years ago — now it's getting on four — and we discussed what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it, and he's one of the biggest Bond fans around," said Craig, who's taking on the 007 role for the third time. He's not out to do an angst-ridden movie, some chamber piece about people's emotions," Craig continued. "It's a Bond movie. But we both agreed that if he cast the film, which he did really well, and we brought in older characters and new characters, that we'd have something really rich and sort of exciting to watch."

_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
