    A 6x6 kind of reminds me of Hinx's Arsenal 1911 for some reason.
    Maybe because it looks a bit silly to me.
    a reasonable rate of return

    These two photos aren't part of the production of Bond25, but I hope you'll forgive me and enjoy them. After the plans for filming in western Norway they certainly get my imagination going:

    The writer of this article claims he's "had some pretty good intelligence" that the Aston Martin AM-RB 003 could be seen in B25, but then he continues on as if merely his own speculation. It is also mentioned here twice that the DB5 will return, although I don't remember it being confirmed anywhere that the DB5 in particular will be back, just that AM will provide a new model.

    What interests me most though is the claim that "Jaguar Land Rover will continue playing along as the bad guys. It will provide the as-yet-unseen Defender as a villain car".

    I remember late last year there was a rumour that a custom Defender with six wheels would be featured in B25 (page 127 of this thread):

    Ron Milione is listed on IMDB as "special effects technician", otherwise his IMDB is pretty thin. He may have listed himsef on Bond25, we don't know. He is no doubt a fan, his Instagram account is full of Bond stuff, but there is nothing else that links him to movie work. If he's genuine, Bond is getting into some very rugged terrain.

    Grain of salt and all - I haven't spotted anything more recent on this guy's IG to suggest he's really on the crew, it could all be BS. Still, curious whether the Sun article is just echoing this old rumour, or there's really more to it. Either way, such a vehicle would be awesome to see.

    It’s impossible to say about the Aston (my hunch is that it wouldn’t be that one as it’s not Bond’s usual style to go with a mid-engined supercars, but nothing’s impossible), however I think a 6 wheeler Defender is unlikely as they’d be keen to show off their new car (and that photo is the old car) in a spec that buyers are likely to be able to buy. I’m sure it’ll be highly specced up, but not to that extent.

    An 'intimacy coordinator' has reportedly been hired to assist with Daniel Craig and Ana De Armas' sex scenes for the new Bond 25 movie.

    Whether this means Bond and Paloma will make a sexy time together, or with their respective companions seems ambiguous to me.

    Perhaps it's a return to old Hollywood standards ?
    Like the Haze act ( I think that's what it was called )
    Where in a bedroom scene the man had to keep one foot
    On the floor ( like in snooker ) and even married couples
    Slept in separate beds :D

    I think Ana De Armas is a great choice, not only is she attractive and has sex appeal, but she kicks ass too :x
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    The stories they used to put in the tabs about alien abductions and alien sightings were more convincing then the drivel they conjure up for Bond 25.

    Is it just me or do any of you have also a feeling that this movie might end up being the worse from all Craig's films?

    Maybe it's because I'm more of a Marvel fan right now and everything works like a good oiled machine in Marvel Studios but the production of Bond 25 looks like a big mess from the very beginning... Even before they started shooting. I'm not a fan I was few years ago but still it's sad to see that Craig's tenure might end on a very low note.

    There's no question that the Marvel machine is an efficient one...but I'm not going to dismiss Bond 25 right now anymore than I would have dismissed CR a year before its release date, based upon the press coverage.
    I assume the press coverage about the chaos behind the scenes is exaggerated for the most part to build drama up to the release of the films. While they clearly burn through more money and time these days to produce films that still don't eclipse the Connery ones in scale or presentation -- or even, sometimes, TV shows -- they've been doing this long enough to roll with the setbacks that are always part of a film or television production.

    Interesting: Eon appear to have made an official announcement that Craig will undergo ‘minor ankle surgery’ and will be out of filming for two weeks while they shoot other stuff.

    Per- Henry Borch, the leader of the location scout company TrueNorth that's handled James Bond, got an award yesterday. The regional newspaper Sunnmørsposten interviewed him. Sunnmøre is the region just south of Romsdal where the Atlantic Sea Road (ASR) and Rauma is. He was asked if he could confirme the rumoures about filming at ASR and the Trollstigen road, but not surprisingly he replied "No comment". I think it's worth noting that the newspaper spesifically said Trollstigen and not the more general area Rauma. It could mean absolutely nothing, but the newspaper should be better informed than most.

    I was wondering the other day about Bond, Leiter and Jamaica and suddenly thought, eh, isn't there something like that in TMWTGG? So, I looked up the plot on James Bond Wiki (rather than re-read the book). https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/The_Man_with_the_Golden_Gun_(novel)

    And sure enough...
    Bond is eager to prove himself worthy of again being a 00 agent. M assigns him to Jamaica, to locate and gain the confidence of Francisco (Paco) "Pistols" Scaramanga, an assassin, known as the man with the golden gun, because of his golden .45 calibre revolver. Bond is assigned to kill him, after having killed several SIS agents.

    In mid-assignment, Bond, who has managed to become Scaramanga's temporary personal assistant under the name of Mark Hazard, learns that Scaramanga is involved with a syndicate of American gangsters and the KGB, who are working several schemes, including the destabilization of Western interests in the Caribbean sugar industry, running drugs into America, smuggling women from Mexico into America and launching casinos in Jamaica. Initially unaware of Bond's presence in Jamaica, Felix Leiter has also been recalled to duty by the CIA and assigned to Scaramanga's hotel staff.

    Bond kills Scaramanga during a train journey, with the assistance of Felix Leiter and his former secretary, Mary Goodnight, now assigned to the Kingston station of the Service. Leiter goes one step further and liquidates Scaramanga's gangster allies. In the process of all this, both Bond and Leiter are badly wounded, though they survive. Bond is offered a knighthood (KCMG—Bond already has CMG) for services past and present to Britain—but he turns it down because of his love for anonymity.

    I don't think Scaramanga will be in Bond25, but the highlighted text above could read, instead, Spectre is involved with a syndicate of American gangsters and Russia's FSB/GRU, who are working several schemes from Jamaica, including the destabilization of Western interests using a terrifying new technology, while also smuggling drugs and women into America. Aware of Bond's presence in Jamaica, Felix Leiter is sent by the CIA and with the assistance of MI6's Kingston station chief, Nomi, helps them stop Spectre.

    I rewatched the press event today and one thing that flew past me the first time - right at the end, when she is sitting with the cast, the lady hosting said "I look forward to catching up with you over the coming months when you are filming this movie."

    Other similar events planned perhaps?

    Hopefully no one was seriously injured. My guess is that the Sun has grossly exaggerated what happened.

    This Independent article claims "The actor/writer was not involved with the second season of Killing Eve (she acted as showrunner on the first) and has completed work on the forthcoming James Bond script."
    I don't know if sh actually told the newspaper this , but the fact that she's working on a new script indicates that it's true.

    More nonsense from The Sun. They truly are doing their best to cast this Bond film in as negative a light as possible.
    It's interesting because as per IMDb Malek has nothing else on his schedule other than some post production voice work for the
    Voyage of Dr. Doolittle.

    Well it has 'Little Things' listed for him after Bond: I don't know any more about that. Plus he has Season 4 of Mr Robot.

    I don't think it's going to be complete nonsense- none of these tabloid stories have been complete fabrications, even if they do hang lies on them and twist them (the bigger stuff, anyway- things like Craig and Fukunaga's 'argument' are clearly just made up because they had some pics).
    I can well believe there are scheduling issues with Malek because we knew there were before the film started. But as these are all distributed by Universal I would imagine that they'll make the production teams sort it out nicely.

    It's worth noting that it was The Sun who broke the news of both the ankle injury and the Pinewood explosion...
