MEXICO FILMING - SPECTRE

Over the past month, filming has been going underway in the streets of Mexico which will take its place as the pre-title sequence of SPECTRE. 

Chuck Aaron, an established stunt pilot, performed a 360 degree roll in a helicopter. From what we understand, Marco Sciarra will be James Bond's target and a brawl takes place on the footplate of a helicopter as it takes off. Daniel Craig's stunt double was seen struggling as the Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm Bo105 performed dangerous spins by nearby buildings. 

Alessandro Cremona who plays Marco Sciarra was seen being chased through the wreckage left at the Day of the Dead festival by James Bond. Real explosives were used to demolish the buildings during the shoot. 

Stephanie Sigman was spotted on location playing the Bond girl Estrella in a sequence which involved a lot of make-up and a mask. This sequence could have been inspired by the original draft of Tomorrow Never Dies, where Paris Carver meets Bond at a masked ball; neither of them recognise each other until later. 

Judging by the fact that the funeral scene in Rome showed Marco Sciarra's coffin, it would be wise to assume Cremona's character does not survive the pre-title sequence.
