Yeah I always forget she's in it, which is downright weird given she's possibly his hottest conquest in that film, although given the setting it always gets mixed up in my head with Austin Powers and Alotta Fagina in the tub

New blog with some neat behind the scenes footage from the Shanghai portion of the film.

This is going to look great

The Shanghai bits (at least those that I've seen) have a very "Blade Runner" look to them.

Another new image from Skyfall.

I'll avoid commenting on it just to not accidentally spoil anyone, but I must say, it's a really classic shot.

WHY ISN'T THIS MOVIE FINISHED YET?! *desperate*

CorporalClegg · April 23 2012, 08:31 AM

That's badass.

I get the impression Daniel didn't get to go to Shanghai, I think it was all second unit filming as far as I could tell.

Man I need a trailer!!

Bond inflitrating the Countryside Alliance?

If you look at the video blog and the .gif I posted he was there.
Maybe for a day or two.

That nighttime skyline sure isn't London or a green screen. Unless it's a very detailed backdrop :P

New Empire magazine photos

About his attire and set look

" Guarding the entrance of Skyfall's Golden Dragon Casino, are a pair of gigantic Chinese dragon heads, lion-mouths petrified into a permanent roar, eyes popping wildly...Standing aboard a small boat, punted gently through the archway, between the dragons and toward the steps is Daniel Craig as 007: tight lips pensive, blue eyes wary and glistening hard.

"A Tom Ford Tuxedo is pulled taut over Craig's honed frame. Its small lapels and '60's line subtly recall the character's mythic-historical homeland. His hair, once such a source of Bond-not-blonde fan outrage, is cropped short and immaculate. The fireworks crackle behind him, but his attention never wavers, concentrating hard on the task in hand, on the meeting that awaits him ahead, within."

Ajendo wrote:

"Bond's mission has taken him to Shanghai first, and there he gets a lead that the person he is looking for is in Macau. He has one slender lead and it takes him to a casino on a lake. Its a very transitional piece you're seeing tonight. It's just an arrival."

Empire nips inside a dark Gazebo where a huge plasma high-def screen monitor displays the view through Deakins' lens, as Bond stands at the entrance to the Casino, dead centre: "This is definitely the best-looking, most painterly few seconds of Bond that Empire has ever seen."

"Bond is back from the dead" , casino creator Dennis Gassner says, somewhat cryptically. He adds "This whole film is about illusion."

Empire makes an educated guess, from what they have seen during various set visits in February and April, that "Silva's MO has something to do with computers and the control of information".

Lastly, Mendes assures us that Skyfall will see 007 "physically pushing himself".

He has one slender lead

Hmm....

BTW, the black-and-white photo screems retro "Bond. James Bond."

I'm psyched.

I'm pretty sure it's a very detailed backdrop. I've been following the production since day one on another site and up until recently Craig has been in London filming. He's now in Turkey filming for the PTS, and he's already been in Scotland filming scenes for the finale, but as far as I know he never went to Shanghai.

Craig officially enters the club

Is it me, or are his head and his hand... do they look too big to anyone else?
