The Sun on the set of SKYFALL

Quote :

He revealed there would be more laughs in Skyfall and added: “The humour is not something we try to do but it just comes from the situations.

“I think there are some very funny lines in it but then I have a very dark sense of humour, so others might not agree with me.”

And he showed a flash of that humour when asked what would be different about the new movie.

He replied: “Go-go dancers. It’s not something I have done before and I thought it was about time I showed that part of myself.”

Quote :

The previous day we had watched the stunt team flipping a black Audi on to its side, then sliding it into a stall in a spice market. Each time they redid the stunt a new Audi was needed.

Stunt co-ordinator Gary Powell said: “We used six Audis just testing the shot. We had to destroy a lot — perhaps 15.”

Quote :

On the third day of our visit we saw close up what happens next in the chase sequence, which will give Skyfall a full-throttle start.

In a square below the minarets and domes of the New Mosque, Bond gets out of his Land Rover and fires his pistol at a henchman called Patrice, who has been in the Audi.

There is rapid machine gun fire and the crowd go running for cover, though sharp-suited Daniel remains cool as three police motorbikes race behind him.

Patrice, played by Ola Rapace, takes one of the bikes and Bond pursues him on an old dirt bike over rooftops.

Quote :

Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes admitted the huge budget meant the pressure was the most he had ever felt.

He said: “Sometimes it is a pleasure and sometimes you want to kill everyone in sight.

“But I believe we haven’t gone wildly over budget. I certainly haven’t had any visitations from people waving their empty wallets in my face.”

Quote :

Sam would only say “could be” when asked if Skyfall was the name of a mission. But he did confirm Dame Judi Dench’s M will be in danger when MI6 comes under attack.

And he revealed it was his decision to bring back the gadget master Q, who will be played by Ben Whishaw.

He said: “I missed Q and what he represented. I love the fact that Casino Royale said we don’t need all that.

“But now I felt we could start playing around with a few of these things that we were missing.”

Quote :

He said: “For Berenice I needed someone who had good old-fashioned sexuality in the style of Sophia Loren and the early Bond girls, but who was not a girl — she is a woman.”

Quote :

As for Daniel, he can’t wait for Bond fans to see Skyfall on the big screen.

He said: “I am at the stage when I really want to show this to audiences and see how they react.”

I think we can safely say how some fans will react, regardless of how brilliant the film may be.

I find this comment very reassuring.

At least Sam's mind is in the right place.

Let's hope the gunbarrel is too.

Amen to that.
