Also, VG's article is updated, adding:
Wednesday morning the Storseisund bridge is basking in sun, and the sea is completely calm. An orange film helicopter has flown a few test rounds very close to the bridge. The Bond car drives multiple times over the bridge, in glorious sunlight, with the helicopter hanging so low over it that you get a suck in your stomach just by looking at it from distance. And if there's any doubts, the pictures show that it's definitely not Daniel Craig sitting in the driver's seat on these test runs.
There is a photo of one of the Astons clearly sitting in the rain!
I posted the wrong link. Sorry. The correct one is really worth seeing. Notice trhe video, the first photo with the identical cars (remember the article about the stunt drivers training) and the phot is great too:
Wow; those helicopter pilots are something. He’s only a couple of metres off the road and is presumably keeping one eye on the car behind him while he’s flying forward!
Ooh I just thought: I’m not one for toys, but does this mean that someone will finally make a good scale model of this car? They didn’t do one at the time, and all of the ones made since have got the shape wrong. I’ve wanted one since I was eight!

We have an expression here on the west coast - "opplett". It's the short pauses between the showers. Today was actually a good day, we had some clouds, jus a few showers of rain and quite a lot of sun. I'm sure they got some good footage in the sun.

I think a large part of their "day job" is installing power lines in the mountains.
They also helped out on Mission Impossible: Fallout
I think they usually use specialists for that sort of thing rather than locals; it’s why Marc Wolff was always their go to guy. I expect he’s retired by now.
This is Nord Helikopter, a local firm. You recognize their orange helicopters from the location photos. It was their permit aplication to the authorities that revealed Bond25 would be filmed at the Atlantic Sea Road.

Ditto. 1:18 scale. I need this car and an OHMSS DBS to complete my collection! The Cumberland Grey ones on ebay have the wrong front end and red interior. Also crazily expensive! 1:18 scale Olive Green DBS non existent.

Wouldn't you like to replace that Vantage with one that looks more like it though? Or at least with wing mirrors!
Plus the new one is different: it doesn't have a sunroof!

Nice display. I should have stuck to 1:36 scale as easier to collect and takes up much less space! You need the OHMSS DBS in there, so you'll need a bigger display case anyway! :007)
Per Henry Borch about the filming on the Atlantic Sea Road: "It's wrap!" He also says they're very pleased with the work done. They had a permit to work there tomorrow too, but I guess they were lucky with the weather. The big question now, at least to me, is where they'll go next. Rauma?
The reason why the Bond «actors» have dots on their faces
The technically the method is called «face replacement».
In a Toyota Land Cruiser a «couple» is seated, with a children’s doll in the backseat. The trio looks like a conjugal family. In the Bond car, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a man sits in a green jacket. Most likely everyone are substitutes for the film’s more central actor profiles, Dagbladet are told.
During the film shoot on the Atlantic Road they also used a small and fast vehicle called a multi-camera car. This production tool is central in «replacing» the substitutes on set with real actors at a later time. Equipped with a total of eight cameras, the vehicle films the surroundings at a 360 degree angle.
Back in the studio, the cars used in the production are placed in a green screen room, and the real actors are seated, pretending to be on the Atlantic Road. The film material from the multi-camera car is then added to the green screen walls in the post production, and the illusion that the actors have been at work in Møre and Romsdal is complete.
I just discovered something that might be important: Torgeirtrap translated the word "barnedokke" to "children's doll". So in my opinion it should read: In a Toyota Land Cruiser a «couple» is seated, with a doll of a child in the backseat.
I think the correct translation is "a doll of a child", in other words a doll that looks like a child. Is the doll standing in for the girl actor on the frozen lake?
Yeah I can't make the flag out on there, but it looks like an Eastern Europe style of plate: Ukrainian or Lithuanian or Romanian etc. With the Porton Down thing is it possible that Bond might be going to Russia this time...?
Actually, not to question your judgement but is it definitely not? When I look at them again they don't look hugely dissimilar, do they..? And the two letters-sticker-six numbers look isn't hugely different from Norway's two letters-sticker-five numbers thing, surely?
It doesn't look a million miles from this one to me, for example:

Yeah, the minute I saw the dots I thought about this. Insurance companies are sure happier not having to cover movie stars on location, especially on action stunts. And it's way cheaper to lodge only stunts and crew. Maybe not even Fukunaga would be there and everything was 2nd unit. But then again, not so sure about this last part.

It's a beautiful car:

The Open top version I think was at the time Aston Martin's owners personal car that he lent them - and you are correct a beautiful car

That would fit well with a genetics and bioweapons plot.

A new plane linked to the filming has landed in the airport closest to the Atlantic Sea Road. It's a passenger plane this time, but Craig wasn't seen.
