Filming on BOND 25 begins in
Norway
After months of press
speculation and rumours surrounding the production of the as yet untitled
25th James Bond film, it would appear that filming has finally begun in Nittedal, 20-miles north of Oslo in Norway. The scene involved a masked
gunman chasing a blonde young girl across an ice lake. The situation
described in the shooting script as: “A child shoots an intruder. She is
chased by a 2nd intruder and runs onto a frozen lake.” The scenes very
likely forms part of a flashback for Madeleine Swann's character, who
described this story to Bond as they make their way by train to Blofeld's desert hideout
in Spectre (2015). Although director Cary
Fukunaga nor any principal players were present at the location, the
action is the first concrete evidence that filming on BOND 25 has
begun in earnest. With major casting still to be announced one can only
speculate as to who the masked gunman is, although the girl clearly
represents a young Madeleine Swann who will be played in BOND 25 by
Léa Seydoux.
The US release date for
BOND 25 has changed. Producers Michael G. Wilson & Barbara
Broccoli:
“We are absolutely thrilled to be releasing BOND 25 on 8 April 2020.”
Universal Pictures International and
Metro Goldwyn Mayer will release the film in the UK and
internationally from April 3, 2020.
