Was wondering what was going on in the last photo. Saw the gurney and thought maybe there was a covered body on it. I thought maybe they were loading it into a Coroners van. Upon some investigation I've come to the conclusion the last picture isn't a scene from the movie. I figure what I thought was a gurney is possibly the caterers table and the van is being used to transport crew members (Flit is a rental company based in Oban on the Scottish west coast. That's what my research told me) http://www.flitselfdrive.co.uk/
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
Dame Judi on Graham Norton tonight, which is filmed on Wednesday nights so it must have been a very short scene at Glencoe to have it completed on the Thursday. Anyway, Skyfall came up, sort of like this...
"You're filming Bond at the moment aren't you?"
"Yes, yes I am!"
"And M really shows her heart in this one. Can you tell us anything about it?"
"Can I tell you anything about it? Without being shot in the morning? No, I can't. Not one word!!"
"Chat show gold, everyone..." (as in, to much laughter)
But Dame Judi is as fun, warm and engaging as ever. Legend. I like how classy she made the whole 'dead rat through her neighbour's letterbox as a child' story...
Aye. After 23 years service in Aberdeen I can vouch for that.
(And JD is from that neck of the woods. They're extra miserable up there because it's always bl00dy freezing )
I've always said they should have set Twilight up there (Bram Stoker did of course), as we have the same weather as Washington State. People aren't white in Aberdeen, they are transparent.
It was good to me in fairness, and we still have a granite house there. Grey of course.
Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.

From what I read, DC drives up there to meet M who is in hiding and they have a chat - maybe indeed a quick shot scene )
Notice Craig is doing his best to fit in with the Scottish people by not smiling and looking grim.
Ouch lol
It's OK, he can say that cause he's one of us. And it's true. )
Can I say this, not being one of you. Craig is not only looking grim but he has his left hand in his pocket. I'd say he is covering his wallet, another Scottish trait.

Craig is clearly playing pocket snooker.
With regards to the first picture I'm digging Craig's wellies. They really go with that suit.
Filming resumed in London today with both Daniel Craig and Judi Dench in attendance (according to onlookers). One scene seems to involve the Jaguar XF and a London bus. The bus likely strategically positioned to show off the advert on its side.

Some You Tube footage from yesterday and today mainly featuring the Jaguar. In todays clip on Vauxhall Bridge things do not appear to go entirely to plan.
Looks like M is quite personally concerned with whatever Bond is investigating, to the point where she follows him into the field more than usual. She's going all over the place with him! But it could just be her usual amount of check-ins with Bond... who knows?

From what little I know it would appear that Skyfall is going to be as much about M (if not more so) than it is about Bond. Whether that is a good thing remains to be seen.
Footnote. It dawned on me earlier that Judi Dench (1995-2012) has matched the seventeen years tenure of Bernard Lee (1962-1979) as M. In that time Lee appeared in eleven films while Skyfall will be Dench's seventh. How times have changed.

I fear that you are right, but really hope that you are wrong. Enough with the Judy Dench please.
Throughout all the released unofficial photos, we've been having quite a bit of banter regarding his mysterious off-screen aging. The eyelids have gone dark, the face pale, and my does he have deepened wrinkles. Handsome fellow, but his youth seems to be in the hands of movie magic, as the official Skyfall images are far less jarring.

Apparently the story appears to involve M's past. However that might just translate to M and Bond just having more face time together...they could also just be shooting most of DC's scenes with Dame Judy all at once for the sake of efficiency, logistics, time constraints, etc.
It's not that D Craig is looking Dog rough, Rather over the years the
Rest of the world has become more beautiful. )
Oh, is that what the hazy air and dead trees in the background of the photos have done to our vision. They just keep stealing the attention in those photos, leaving Craig out in the cold with a face to match. )

Yeah, I knew the story is supposedly very close to M, but I was just noting the amount of scenes she already seems to have done on location with Craig, about which you may be correct. It could indeed be that scheduling has led to her being in several shoots earlier on, or a combination of more M plot and scheduling her early.

Handsome, but not Casino Royale age anymore. )
I don't think its as simple as DC just ageing badly, as he was looking particularly good about the time of his wedding, tanned, rested, slightly longer hair...and that was relatively recently. Therefore we have to conclude that the current ashen gaunt crew-cut & weathered look is a deliberate choice. Admittedly he was as usual very heavily made up, but was looking very sharp.
The look we have seen therefore must either serve some Narrative purpose as yet unknown to us, or be a deliberate choice by those in charge of Skyfall. If it is just 'this is how we think he should like' its a weird choice as even his mother, or greatest fan (Lexi ?) would not claim that this is the best option open to him. It seems almost deliberately perverse or at least obtuse, as the hair in particular does him no favours, particularly in the 'Golum' stakes as we have already had comments about 'the precious '
I'm hoping that its integral to the narrative and that all will become clear.

These shots are all taken in central London and his suit and hair seem dusty. My guess is he's just narrowly escaped an explosion or has been involved in a vehicle crash. There's supposed to be an attack on MI6, we've seen photos of the coffins, we've seen him pursuing someone on foot, and we know that there's some serious stunt driving involving M's Jaguar limousine and the Special Branch Range Rover. So it could well be a deliberate look as he is in the thick of it at this point in the film.
I thought he looked good in the official pool photo and the first film still. I don't think his looks are nearly as poor on screen compared to off, but perhaps when we see an official photo out of a London scene we will know if he is going to really look so washed over and beaten by age in the film. He looked fine in Cowboys & Aliens, but not during its promotion as much in my opinion.
Regardless, I personally think he looks to have aged quite a bit since Casino Royale off screen.
EDIT: He actually looks good here to me. Camera white balance giving him some color. )
Relax guys, Omega will airbrush his forehead by the time the Skyfall watch ad comes out!!
Personally I think he yo yo's quite a bit in-between diff films and drops / gains weight too much for his own good.
His cheekbones are pretty prominent compared to say Casino Royale where he had a bulkier build and more meat on him! I think he is overdoing the cardio!!
