Lea Seydoux started filming something else yesterday. Of course, if it's a typical low budget indy effort she could be finished in 30 days. Or maybe her role in Bond 25 is really small.
I think someone in the Other Place wrote she'll be filming The Story of My Wife for more than fifty days, her husband will be played by the star of "Børning" and "Børning 2" )
Think one of many reasons why people are not excited about this movie is because we know nothing about it and its status. ATM we don‘t even know if shooting has already begun.

I'm not really sure how "shooting" is being defined. It's pretty obvious that the 2nd Unit did some shooting in Norway. There has been no announcement of any further change in the official release date. There certainly could be changes in the production schedule (shooting order, 2nd unit, etc) or it could be that certain 2nd Unit work had to be done first due to whether and/or location availability which wouldn't effect the release date.
Both CR and QoS started shooting just over 10 months from release date. With Bond 25's release date being April 2020, shooting could begin in June to match their schedules. QoS's press conference happened 3 weeks into shooting, which would correlate to the end of June.
A watched pot never boils. It will happen when it happens, folks.
Apparently filming is delayed by 4 weeks already 8-)
One could say that there has already been a month delay. Early March to early April.
If you look back at previous DC films and their start of filming/press conferences and US release dates there is an interesting pattern.
Spectre
3 December 2014 photocall/press conference
338 days later was the US release date of 6 November 2015
Skyfall
3 November 2011 photocall/press conference
371 days later the US 8 November 2012 release date
Quantum of Solace
26 January 2008 photocall/press conference but filming actually started 3 January 2008
316 days after filming started there was the 14 November 2008 US release date
Casino Royale
14 October 2005 photocall/press conference
399 days later was the 17 November 2006 US release date
So, with the B25 having a US release date of 8 April 2020, and working back from that;
338 days means 6 May start of filming/press conference.
371 days means 3 April for start of filming/press conference - not happening!
316 days means 28 May for the start of filming/press conference.
399 days means 6 March for start of filming/press conference - not happening!
I think it's interesting that the 3 April and 6 March so accurately reflect previously announced B25 start dates which suggests there is a production plan estimate being used. The average number of days is 356 days and that gives a date of 18 April. Is that the later in April date the Norwegian crew member hinted at?
I think 6 May is now the more likely date. I think DC is at Pinewood doing prep along with other crew and he'll be joined by Ralph Fiennes and others at Pinewood in May.
The Norwegian filming needs to be looked at like the Quantum Siena filming in August 2007 for the horse race, it's been done early to catch the right weather conditions.
I feel for Daniel Craig who has four extra weeks to stay on what must be kind of a harsh diet before shooting even begins. He was looking ready to start in those recent airport pics.

Well, if the tabs are to be believed (and I am paraphrasing here) "Craig wants to look as good as he did in CR for his final outing as Bond" he will need every bit of that harsh diet and exercise. )
Filming is finished at Lutvann too. not only Langvann. We know this because the neightbours are complaining about how the wheel tracks from the production have ruined the area. The filming was done in the nick of time, because the snow is clearly gone:
I would be amazed if principal photography started anytime soon to be honest. Soon being sometime in the next few weeks. It seems like this is a film full of delays...not to be a downer, but it actually makes me wonder when Bond 26 will be put together. I feel like this could be the last one for a while. After the ordeal of this production, I doubt they'll have their act together for a new Bond anytime soon.

I never thought I’d say it, but I’m actually beginning to hope EON sells it off. Maybe it’s time.

Yes I agree mate. It could be time. I think Disney would like it, and they already have their foot in the door now that they own all the home entertainment rights to all previous Bond films. But I would hate Disney do to it at the same time, so if it was to go I would like to land somewhere else.

Sadly, I've been feeling that way for some time. The speculation on who will replace Craig for example, seems to me, pointless at this point as it could be years before development begins on B26.

When people started talking about Idris Elba replacing Daniel Craig, they figured that he was the right age since he was in his late 30s. They will never realise that he will be into his 50s, or perhaps his 60s, by the time Daniel Craig's replacement is cast.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Perhaps the biggest upside going forward is that Nolan didn’t get embroiled in the back end of the Craig years. They should bring him in to cast Bond and come up with a three-film arc. I think he could do something special if he had the proper measure of control.
I think Nolan said once without directly referring to Bond, that he would want to start with a clean slate or something to that nature. Add in the control of the producers and I don't think we'll ever see a Nolan Bond movie. The best we might get is that snow scene in Inception. Which is a better snow scene compared to just about every Bond movie with of course the exception of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Which is where the scene in Inception came from. Plus that bit from A View to a Kill. And we've never seen a big battle sequence like Inception in any recent Bond movie. You have to go all the way back to The Living Daylights.
I'm looking forward to Nolan's next movie which someone said is like North by Northwest more than the next Bond movie.

My apathy grows. 8-)
OK......then explain what they were doing in Norway with those IMAX cameras.
I think someone in the Other Place wrote she'll be filming The Story of My Wife for more than fifty days, her husband will be played by the star of "Børning" and "Børning 2"
That’s not the first unit.
They shot the Palio race scenes in QoS months before principal photography began.

I'm sure he's being paid enough to go through it.
