The poster shows Daniel Craig as James Bond holding his PPK with the gun barrel behind him. The gun barrel seems to resemble a train tunnel which Bond is walking down. What do you think? (More updates below poster) Sam Mendes wants a real Bond villain
Damsels.org interviewed Sam Mendes (the director) last week. "[It's been] a while since there was a classic … what I would call a classic Bond villain. I’m not saying these guys weren’t great. I thought Mads[Mikkelsen] was particularly good in Casino RoyaleBut I wanted somebody perhaps a bit more flamboyant, perhaps a bit more frightening, and so I felt like we needed a great actor to achieve that." Sam Mendes cast Javier Bardem as the films main antagonist; Raoul Silva, whom we know very little about. Train Chase in Adana with Craig and Harris Now that the first unit and second unit team have met up in Adana, they have started to shoot the action-packed pre-title sequence. Daniel Craig was on the set with Naomi Harris. Craig was accompanied by his stunt double as some amazing stunts were performed on the roof of a train.

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."

Filming in Charring Cross Most of the filming this week happened in Pinewood Studios. However the crew are finishing off a scene they set up a few weeks ago at Charring Cross Station. It is understood that this scene is where Daniel Craig will be exiting the station to the streets while chasing the main villain portrayed by Javier Bardem. Bond starts the New Year with a bang! Quite literally in fact. After Craig and Dench were spotted with the crew in London last week, Land Rovers were being prepared to be blown up for the next few scenes. It is understood that this scene will be taking place in Greenwich, London. A total of 8 vehicles are going to be demolished during the filming later on today. A sneaky shot of one of the Land Rovers can be seen in the gallery below. Earlier last year, the team were purchasing lots of VW Beetles which are going to be blown up too. Thomas Newman signs on as composer David Arnold who has composed the soundtrack for five James Bond films (Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace), but now he is unable to work on SkyFall because he is currently the Music Director of the London Olympic and Paralympic ceremonies. Instead, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced that new composer Thomas Newman will score 2012's SkyFall. “We are delighted to confirm that Thomas Newman will score SKYFALL. Thomas is one of the most respected and successful composers, he has a long history of working with Sam Mendes and we look forward to welcoming him into the Bond family,” said Michael Wilson. Sam Mendes and Newman have worked together on previous films. Newman said “I’m incredibly excited to be working with Sam again. It’s a real thrill to be able to collaborate on something as special as a Bond movie.” Canary Warf - Behind the scenes After filming began in Canary Warf in December, a few sneaky snap-shots of Daniel Craig and the film crew leaked over the internet. Today, we have the first official photograph of this scene Gallery |
