Details on QoS Action Sequence

Loeffelholz

Both MI6 and CBn are reporting that about three weeks of Second Unit shooting took place in Mexico in late January/early February:

Apparently a Marchetti, which is an Italian military trainer jet---equipped with machine guns---has been filmed as part of an aerial action sequence: "I'm the typical bad guy, trying to shoot down James Bond, who's flying in another plane." B-) The pilot is Steve Hinton, who's flown planes in movies for 30 years. His work includes Pearl Harbor, We Were Soldiers and the upcoming Iron Man.

Pretty cool. :007)

So I guess Craig, like Brosnan and Moore, knows how to pilot a jet?

Natch. His latest dossier has him qualified on all sorts of vehicles...including aircraft B-)

Of course, we don't know exactly what he's flying, yet... :v Could be anything. My money's on 007, though...

Well, we don't even know that Bond's piloting the other aircraft, yet. Who knows?

Dang, so far this film is sounding disapointing. Boat chases, car chases and aircraft chases. I really hope they do this film right.

Michael Wilson wasn't lying about there being twice as much action - hopefully it will all be done in a smart, sophisticated, realistic way.

Yes...of course. He might just be a passenger. Seems a bit passive for our man, though---and it's not the impression I got from the article---but indeed, who knows?

That said...if he begins the encounter as a passenger, it doesn't take much of an imagination to envision that he probably doesn't finish it that way... :007)

Indeed, I imagine this could be where this previously mentioned "parachute" sequence might come in? :007)
