SKYFALL-Lodge's demise
Filming in Scotland comes to an end as SKYFALL-Lodge is blown to the ground. It has been marked as the most expensive stunt in the James Bond series. All crew and cast move to Turkey to film the rest of the film. Shooting is expected to be completed by June. Take a look at the gallery below for images of the building as it explodes.

Resurrecting an old stunt
As the SKYFALL crew prepare to film the epic stunt sequence in Turkey, MI6-HQ reported that the stunt was originally written for Goldeneye 1995 starring Pierce Brosnan. According to the report, the stunt was removed at the last minute. Presumably, this was during the scene with Bond as he chases Trevelyan on the train. Some of the images in the gallery were scanned photographs of production sketches for Goldeneye; containing spoilers.

As shooting began in Turkey, one of the stunt trains derailed and could have gone over the edge of a tall viaduct. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

Aston Martin to be blown up
As we reported a few weeks ago, the crew in Scotland were spotted with James Bond's Aston Martin DB5. Now, a recent report has said that the Aston Martin DB5 might not make it past these scenes as car shell replicas have been rigged with explosives. "Just got back from Hankley Common, security let us go very close. Spoke to one and he said the DB5 has been peeped with explosives." @RichLawes. It is said that this was done on Monday when the rest of the building is blown up.

More character name spoilers
As we reported a few weeks ago, a call sheet revealed the name of Javier Bardem's character Silva. Now there are reports that other characters were mentioned on the list too. These include Gareth Mallory (rumoured Ralph Fiennes), Kincade (rumoured Albert Finney), Patrice (rumoured Ola Rapace), Doctor Hall, Vanessa (M's Assistant). Raoul, according to the reports, is Silva's first name. Another character's name was revealed as B. This could be Ben Whishaw's character of Q, these call sheets would have been made before the information leaked about what character he was playing which suggests that it was a cover up.

Berenice Marlohe and Naomi Harris show their progress so far
A couple of days ago, French actress Berenice Marlohe and English actress Naomi Harris showed Bond fans what they have been up to since filming began in November. Naomi Harris' video contains scenes of her practising mainly gun training; shooting from different angles. It gives us an idea of how much action we can expect from the film. Harris' video didn't show us any of the scenes from the film, but Berenice Marlohe's did. In fact, a scene which nobody seemed to pick up on when they were filming in Ascot Racecourse (that doulbed for Shanghai International Airport). Marlohe was seen in character along with two body-guards passing a suitcase to someone on the opposite escalator. (Reports believe that this character is called Patrice)

The Second Official Photo

'Its raining M'
The SKYFALL were shooting again in the streets of London, again these scenes will be near the beginning of the film. M's Jaguar was spotted in St Margaret's Street by Parliament Square. This scene is believed to be a follow-up from the driving shots that were filmed a last week. A rain-maker rig was fixed in Cadogan Square for a realistic downpour during the scene. Judi Dench was on location as well as her double. The scene was shot at night and M was leaving a building and quickly ran into the Jaguar. Images can be seen in the gallery.

SKYFALL at IMAX
It was revealed last week that SKYFALL will be shown  in IMAX with the films official release. This will be the first time any Bond film has ever been shown here. "SKYFALL will be the cool, must-see event release of the fall, and releasing the film in IMAX only reinforces that," said Rory Bruer, President, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Worldwide Marketing and Distribution.

"It is fitting that with SKYFALL marking the 50th Anniversary of the James Bond franchise, we celebrate in epic style and what could be more larger-than-life than IMAX joining the festivities," said Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officers of MGM.

"It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this legendary franchise, whose iconic characters and electrifying action will only be amplified in the IMAX format," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President, IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "We are excited to rejoin forces with our friends at Sony Pictures Entertainment and MGM and so pleased to work with Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, and Sam Mendes to bring their vision to IMAX and Bond fans around the world."

Naomi Harris; the stunt woman
Naomi Harris and Berenice Marlohe have been interviewed about their experiences so far during the production of SKYFALL. "I’m trying to do all my own stunts," Harris told reporters. "I’ve done them all so far. In a couple of weeks we’ve got another big stunt thing, so I don’t know if I can do all of them. But I’m trying to!"

Berenice Marlohe says that she is still waiting for the chance to have some romantic scenes with Craig. "I certainly hope I’ll kiss Daniel Craig," the French actress told Total Film. "I will have Sam [Mendes] change everything if not!"

A Range Rover for Bond
Car Magazine has recently announced that the Land Rover Defender will be used in SYKFALL. The car will be driven by agent Eve (Naomi Harris). "We are really going to test that car, do things to it it's not normally designed for. Some of the stuff is so hairy and dangerous, we have to use a stuntman in a pod on the roof to do the driving. We've had to crank up the suspension, and the Defender is going to work very, very hard." The Defender was last used careering off the rock of Gibraltar in The Living Daylights 1987. The Rave Rover was last used in Quantum of Solace.

As well as the Range Rover, other known vehicles to be used in SKYFALL are M's Jaguar, which has recently been spotted in London, James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 and several VW Beetles which were rigged to blow up in one of the scenes we believe has already been shot.
