When I saw this photo from Fandango.com I immediately thought of Sean Connery in Switzerland in Goldfinger.
Daniel Craig in a classic suit in a shot with his classic car. We know Skyfall is filming and set in Scotland, the home of Bond’s father. This sure looks like 007 on the way to Skyfall Lodge.
Fandango’s preview story (out Monday) says the story will also take place in Macau. I think this is the first time that location has been mentioned. We know exterior shooting will take place in Shanghai. If true, this will be first time 007 has been in Macau since Roger Moore in 1974’s The Man With the Golden Gun.
Skyfall is moving into the final weeks of production. Empire Online shares photos from their upcoming issue featuring a set visit to the set of the next James Bond film.

“Visually we’re in very safe hands because Roger Deakins is shooting this movie, which is just phenomenal,” said Daniel Craig tole Empire. “It has a classic feel to it. I won’t lie to you: we’ve tried to sort of bring some of the feelings of older Bond movies into this film — but this is a modern movie.”

This Geek’s Opinion: I was thrilled when Naomie Harris joined the cast as an MI6 agent named Eve. I’ve been a big fan of her work since 28 Days Later.
This is the first time we’ve seen Oscar Winner Ralph Fiennes from the film. He’s taking aim. Fans speculate Fiennes is playing a rogue MI6 agent or an even more elaborate theory is that he will take over for Dame Judi Dench as M.

The new 007 movie is packed with Oscar power including director Sam Mendes and Judi Dench as M. Javier Bardem plays the villain in Skyfall. The Oscar-winning actor talked with Spanish network TVE about his character and experience on the new 007 movie.
“It’s a very beautiful and fun adventure,” says the lead Skyfall villain. “yesterday I was on set with Albert Finney, with Judi Dench, with Daniel Craig.”
“It’s cool, and the coolest thing and what’s most important is the material. When I got it and saw the character, immediately you forget a little that it is a James Bond film and you realise that it is a great film and that’s what attracted me. I said, “man this gives you a lot of possibilities”. Obviously it’s a James Bond film and it has everything you expect from a Bond film.”
Bardem explained his approach to the character and he connects to Daniel Craig’s 007.
“I’m completely decided to give him a hard time and the truth is that I get to do it. Doing it in the set is a different thing [to reading it in a script]. The character puts Bond into some curious and interesting difficulties and one has to do it [for real], to give the idea that you are the villain. Otherwise there is no point in doing it. You have to put the actor in a difficult situation, that’s the objective. In that sense Sam is helping a lot, he’s an amazing director. And I’m delighted to be working with Daniel, he’s a guy with balls, he’s a really hard-working guy, super-compromised with what he’s doing. For him it’s strenuous, six months of shooting everyday, in addition with a lot of physical demand and the guy holds on super-committed.”
Thanks to MI6 for the story. There’s more of Bardem’s interview to enjoy at that link provided.
Daniel Craig is playing James Bond for the third time in Skyfall and tells the BBC he would keep going until they tell me to stop.”
Craig knows that eventually it will be time to pass on 007 license to kill.
“I know there’ll be someone after me, and hopefully someone after them – I’m just trying to keep [the series] going.”
“We haven’t been resting on our laurels, we’ve been plotting what to do with this film,” he said.
This is the first film in 4 years and the team is working it make it a great film for the series 50th Anniversary.
“The first one was a whirr – it was a new experience and flew by – the second one was the tricky second album, but this one we’ve really planned and got a great script.

Today is the 44th birthday of Daniel Craig. The star is currently filming the latest 007 film Skyfall. This year is the 50th Anniversary of the James Bond series. My first Daniel Craig film was Lara Croft: Tomb Raider but when I saw Layer Cake I first thought this guy who could be a cool Bond.
