The shoot is scheduled to last "seven months", which would appear to be the longest film shoot in Bond history if true.

I'd hate to be the cost accountant...Babs would gun me down the way Sanchez iced Truman Lodge...

I'd be your human shield if you promised me 75 Dog Bonds in the afterlife.

You'd be too busy playing with your golden harp :face:

I know, I just have a hard time taking a villain with the name "Patrice" seriously.

To Liverpool fans, it's the most appropriate villain name imaginable.

Craig definitely looks old enough to play Kenny Dalglish.

The rumour that Harris is playing Moneypenny has once again resurfaced, wonder if it gets £200 for passing go?.

Thing is, I haven't seen anyone in charge of the film (cast or crew or management) come right out and deny the rumor. They play coy and sort of deflect, but if you look at Harris' answers and read between the lines, she hasn't actually said "No."

Indeed and if she goes from field operative to desk job, there is the oppertunity for some 'emotional context' :roll: not to mention the odd physical injury.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking about how it could likely play out ... she's a field agent, but some sort of in-mission trauma (physical, emotional or both) has her requesting a transfer to the office.

A call sheet has leaked and been posted on James Bond Brazil by Marketto. Big spoilers ahead.

Spoiler:

Is this film going to have the most amount of scenes with Judi Dench or what?

I can't believe what I just read there. *huge sigh* I don't think I want to follow along production of this film any more. Instead, I'll just wait. Look forward to watching the new M film with the rest of you in the fall.

That much seems clear. SKYFALL is definitely going to be "the Bond film about M," putting her right at the center of the narrative.

Spoilers ahead...



The part about Bond discussing his childhood with M over a drink is seriously concerning to me. That's just a disaster waiting to happen. Eve shaving Bond is also a little....odd. I guess we now know that Macau is an official location, and that the baddie is named Silva.

Or it could be very well-executed. There was talk that the manor house was Bond's childhood home, but people did not like the idea that Bond's home would just be lying around. But what if M was being evasive about things, unwilling to open up, so Bond invented a whole story about the house being his and telling her about his childhood there with the intention of making M feel more comfortable and talking about what "Skyfall" is? I think a scene like that could work really well.

It took seven films to happen, but M has finally become the leading Bond girl. I'll bring a tranquilizer to the cinema just in case. Or a 26-ouncer. Or both.

I love the way people have already judged this based on a single line in a leaked call sheet that we have no way of verifying as being legit. Seriously, reading some of the descriptions of filming - for example. "Kincade helps M along" - are so vague that I can't help but think this is a fake. Likewise, it lists both the 6th and 7th of February as a Monday and has an entire day dedicated to filming a scene (the shaving) that production would only get one take to get right.

Not necessarily. Perhaps Eve is giving Bond a Brazilian?

Eve shaving Bond would suggest a certain level of intimacy between them ... safe to assume he 'nails' her, maybe?

"Eve,

Shave, microchip and water Bond. Make sure he doesn't get into any more fights, his insurance won't cover it.

Love,

Your faithful comrade, M."

That's how call sheets are. They're vague.

To fake a call sheet, you'd really have to work on it. And this is just an excerpt of an extensive call sheet with all the mundane details that do make it seem 100% legit.

Not unless the shaving is an extended dialogue scene.

Not sure whether the above are spoilers or whatever (Kincade helps M along...), but can we please make an effort to conceal whatever may be spoilers. Some of us want to go in almost blind (save for the trailer, etc).

The call sheet was being sold on eBay last weekend. The James Bond Brasil site apparently bought it. There may be two more being auctioned now.

Christ, yes! It's one thing for Bond to have a moment of reverie in his head during the books, but to verbalize? And to M? I thought that this character was actually coming close to being something like Bond in the QUANTUM revealed / Tosca part of QoS, but this probably takes the whole thing back to zero for me, unless there is some kind of tricking M thing going on with him. And even if it is that, they should have found a more credible way to do it, because this sounds like Another Way To Die (for the film that is) in my mind.

Probably just clearing the debris of stubble visible in most pics. I'm assuming that is limited to his face, but ?
