| Did they say residents get a special tour through the set? Or did I get this wrong? If true, how awesome is that? |

| Sam Mendes really likes looking back to TWINE doesn't he? This one is more of a stretch than SF, but using parts of the film as an homage to On Her Majesty's Secret Service - ski sequences, the title, locations, etc.
Great pics though! |

| I'm sure he does look back at TWINE.
With contempt.

Great pics though! You assume it's an homage. What about if he's quietly remaking it? Unofficially, of course. |

| Seriously, that's all you guys have to say-- that Mendes is remaking TWINE? What about the stunning architecture? That fact they're shooting on one of the most dangerous roads in Europe? |

| Be reasonable, Sharky. TWINE is the Citizen Kane of Bond movies. It's sacred. |

Maybe my remarks weren't clear. I was suggesting that maybe Mendes is remaking OHMSS; or at least loosely following the book's trajectory. He's already remade TWINE once...but there were a couple of elements he left out, so if he's going back to that well one more time, then it's safe too assume that Bellucci will be the Elektra role, and Lea will be the Christmas Jones role. |

Thought it goes without saying really. I assume they're shooting inside the restaurant, given the leaked schedule, which is cool, instead of redesigning the interiors at Pinewood. |

Do you know what happens when you stretch something too far? It falls apart. I really don't see this hybrid TWINE homage-knock off. As near as I can tell, all they contain are James Bond and snow. By that logic, it's also a QOS and TSWLM homage-knock off because it's in Austria, a GF homage-knock off because it contains a road in the European Alps, and an OHMSS homage-knock off because it features a restaurant and cable car. |

Yes and no. I say this only because SF featured an explosion at MI6, a villain from M's past who she betrayed, Scotland, French Bond girl, etc. - all of which featured in TWINE. Elektra was intended to be who Bond believes could be a Tracy, but really is a Blofeld (both characters in OHMSS), a ski chase was included to harken back to OHMSS, and of course 'The World Is Not Enough' originating from both the novel and film of OHMSS. Spectre seems to be alluding to OHMSS just like TWINE was. I say Mendes likes looking back to TWINE because both of his films appear to have stronger similarities to TWINE. |

| Sounds about as likely as Mendes taking inspiration from HOME ALONE. I think the similar ideas mainly come from Purvis & Wade. I can't blame them for wanting to revisit certain aspects of previous films that were sullied by TWINE, and having Mendes and Logan come in and refine it into something more fresh. |

Of course they could find what they were looking for! They just chose not to. They're cheap! They could have had everything they wanted in Norway, but they've snubbed me and the glory of my people! Let them take their trifling arses to Austria, which has been overused as a location. I didn't know you were Norwegian, GS. My wife is Norwegian/Iranian, graduated in Bergen and her family all live in Oslo, where I've just spent New Year..... |

Hey, if Idris Elba can have a Swiss mom and Scottish dad, Gravy can be Norwegian. Bet he plays A-ha records all day too. |

| There must have been some changes to the script since the November 2014 outline was leaked, because... - Spoiler:
...I don't recall Bellucci's character being present for the Austrian scenes in the film. I only read through it once, but I thought she only shows-up for the Rome segments.

Where has it been reported that Bellucci was in Austria? |

I haven't seen any pics of her in Austria, that's Lea Seydoux posing with Bond and Hinx. |

Where has it been reported that Bellucci was in Austria? There's a post over on MI6's Facebook page saying that Craig and Bellucci had arrived in Austria as of 1/5. Perhaps they meant Seydoux? |
