The commercial involved a chase with a taxi and a tractor. The Parador (a IXth century castle) will be a set too. One of the rooms has been transformed into a disco...
“I like watching big films but I don’t think I’m necessarily good at making them. Then I thought ‘no, you shouldn’t think like that’. We have this idea about what we want to do with Bond and I felt we should have a go because of this idea. So we are trying to stay true to our principles.”
They shot the Heineken ad for Spectre around September 2014 if I’m not mistaken.
Are they shooting it now, rather than following the SF/SP time frames, because Craig will be on maternity leave come Sept/Oct/Nov?
This was initially my thought also
Yep, his wife is probably due in October, and he probably didn’t want to do much in the period after filming ends and prior to the press blitz. Makes a ton of sense to get this out of the way now. I’ll bet we don’t see it for over a year.
All the people speculating about the “wedding ring” and this being Bond 25 footage are way off base. I know it’s been a while, but let’s keep hold of our senses! -{
Whatever the issue, Craig looks older but good. His haircut suits his age.
The suit is another too tight cut in my view. Looks wrong on a chap of his age. A little more class please. Otherwise looks ok
Didn't really pay much attention to the suit, but it's the current style. I have some like that. But they could give Craig some options to be fashion forward, which I'll presume to be baggier.

Personal view of course,but Bond should embody style not fashion.
Of that of which we cannot speak we must pass over in silence- Ludwig Wittgenstein.
They filmed (at least parts of) the Pamplona scenes for QoS early, simply because the street horse race takes place before the official filming started.

That's it, Quantum, not Skyfall D'oh!
That's what it says. We were talking about scenes shot well before the normal schedule.

Yeah he's looking pretty good and far better than some of the other pics I've seen posted here and elsewhere recently, especially that awful haircut he had a while back that looked bizarre on him.

SP exterior train shots were around summer ‘14. So, it’s not to wild to assume Bond 25 might be shooting some scenes this summer!
Lifestyle guide to the products and locations featured in the James Bond films.
I always find it interesting how films are shot and put together. What might also say something about what's actually going on would be some pictures of what cameras are being utilized to shoot in Spain....that being said in these days of digital photography it might not really matter. SPECTRE was shot primarily on good old fashioned 35mm film but digital cameras were also used for certain scenes.
I just saw the new episode of JBR. They probably made it because of my post yesterday where I asked what was happening with them )
It was very good, as usual. A few things I found particularely interesting:
-They know Danny Boyle and David Arnold have been on the phone with each other recently.
-What if Monica Bellucci's character is the female villan with a personal connection to Bond?
-Wouldn't it be great if Bond turned up at the office in full navy uniform and tossed the cap on the hat stand?
I would like to expand on the last idea: The last action scene in the movie should be an assault with Bond and SBS. Bond then turns up at the office in his navy uniform (perhaps because he just got a medal from the queen ?). He flirts with Moneypenny who says M is ready to see him. Bond tosses the cap. The credits roll. :007)
Even if you were going to have a 2nd unit just do establishing shots, you'd need to do location scouting/location selection/storyboarding in advance of filming. Boyle would have to be involved in at least the last two and that would take several days. I don't see how he would have time.

I'm sure that at least some of the location scouting has been done, it was reported that Andrew Noakes was in Dubai last year location scouting.
While I don’t think this was Bond 25 footage being shot, I completely buy into the idea that preparation for this movie is far more advanced than we realize. It’s been three years since Spectre wrapped, and about a year since DC told them he was coming back. We don’t know precisely when Boyle came into the fold, but we should assume it was long before we heard the first rumor of his involvement. Whatever incomplete idea he pitched EON and DC, it probably had enough flesh on the bones that initial location scouting commenced. The delay in the announcement probably had to do with the distribution issue.

Been thinking this since the Boyle story began to become reality. While EON has disappointed us at times with some films that missed the mark, they are not a bunch of fools running around in circles tripping over themselves. They (EON) are very experienced film makers/producers who have been at this with a very high level of success over an unprecedented time span. We don't always agree with their decisions but they know what they are doing. I still believe that they have really tightened up on what information gets out this time around after getting burned by the Sony leaks that plagued SPECTRE.

This 100%... It's crazy that some seem to think it's any different. Of course EON know exactly what they're doing, and just because they are not letting slip vital info in these stupid social media times, where everyone thinks they are entitled to info 'just because' means things are a mess, or going badly is a bloody joke. Some 'uber fans' think they should be included in the process, and if they are not, they'll make up all sorts of clap-trap just to make themselves feel better and important )

I wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with his commitment to “Purity” which he’s supposed to do after Bond

Wouldn't it be fraternaty leave in his case?
I thought that was mainly a Norwegian "problem"
Yep, his wife is probably due in October, and he probably didn’t want to do much in the period after filming ends and prior to the press blitz. Makes a ton of sense to get this out of the way now. I’ll bet we don’t see it for over a year.

But that's only second unit, right? It's typical for second unit to shoot during pre-production, but they don't shoot scenes.

Actually you will find the 2nd unit shoot the action sequences.
I know that the second unit shoots action sequences, but during pre-production?
I have also known them to use a 3rd unit.
(I just re read your comment about pre production
But things are filmed pre production to insert later, wasn't TSWLM ski jump filmed in advance ? also some of MR with the waterfall ?
I was asking about pre-production, not production.
I just corrected myself -{
to me to you
