SPOILER: Quick update on that Bond 22 end sequence
We believe Bond 22 has begun filming today. Well kind of anyway because Marc Forster & Daniel Craig won't be present!
We believe Bond 22 has begun filming today. Well kind of anyway. Daniel Craig isn't on set of anything and it probably won't even be director Marc Foster (though i wouldn't rule it out) but we believe a filming crew is out on location somewhere filming second unit stuff which later will be pieced together into a full length in sequence in 007's next adventure. Wanna here more? Well it's an update on Monday's spoilers, so just be warned that if you click below... you might read something you don't wanna here. Ok, so more details have come out about that ending sequence we believe has started filming today. Well first up... it's not actually the end sequence but is actually just a bit that takes place half way through the movie. The chase scene that takes place in the cobelled streets of Siena, across the rooftops and through medieval buildings all during a famous Italian festival is now not expected to be final action of the next Bond movie. Commander Bond give us much more...
Over the past few weeks, James Bond producers are said to have been negotiating with the Siena town council over what can be shot at the Palio di Siena tomorrow. The Palio is traditionally a major event in the Sienese calendar. The footage reportedly being shot tomorrow is to be strictly of a documentary-style nature, with no manipulation or ridiculing of the event, and no shots of violence involving horses or people to be included. The article references unconfirmed reports that 007 will negotiate central Sienas narrow alleys in his Aston Martin before taking to the towns rooftops in an exciting pursuit of the films villain. The Palio will apparently serve as a backdrop to this sequence, with shots of the horse race intercut to parallel Bonds own pursuit. Il Giornale describes the chase sequence as no holds barred. Sienas town council have reportedly granted Eon Productions permission to return to film footage in and around the town during principal photography between January and July 2008. However, it is likely that such scenes may simply be recreated at Pinewood Studios.Sounds pretty cool but to be honest, I've just come back from seeing The Bourne Ultimatum, and Bond has some competition on his hands if he's going to produce a better chase scene than the one in that movie! I do like my chase scenes and that one in Bourne is worth the ticket price alone.
