    Waller-Bridge is top class. Would like to see her return if the dialogue ends up being as good as I hope. Easy payday for her evidently, too. But hopefully it's money well spent.

    32 sets in Matera area - it doesn't look like PTS scene.
    Yes, PTS scene can have many sets, be very complicated, but specifics of mentioned sets in Matera force to think that they are for different scenes.

    I think PTS won't be there. My bet - Norway part.

    I'm hoping a car chase in Matera isn't the PTS, too similar to QoS.

    Which came out 12 years ago.

    Based on what we know, shooting in Southern Italy doesn't sound too "Craig PTS", or at least we are in for a different kind of PTS. Longer, with more characters moments than usual. 32 sets, the hotel room, the cemetary, the museum, 1200 extra, filming with children, the caves, the Maratea coastline, the wedding (?). It just doesn't sound like a full action bang opening. Sounds more like a very long prologue.

    Indeed,maybe they are trying to break TWINE's record.

    I hope not. The PTS of TWINE was overlong.

    No, it's just the right size... for me that is.

    I think it would have worked better with only the Bilbao scene. Then maybe (maybe) add the Renard scene that was cut.

    One of those set photos of the "hotel" set show some buildings materials on the floor labelled "CAVE" in big green letters...

    This got me thinking. Joseph Campbell once wrote, "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."

    James Bond steht auf „Schrott“-Kunst aus Köln
    https://bild.de/regional/koeln/koeln-aktuell/koeln-james-bond-steht-auf-schrott-kunst-von-ha-schult-63897390.bild.html

    When the Cologne action artist presents his 1000 sculptures in Sassi di Matera (Italy) on August 24th and 25th, cinema hero Daniel Craig (52) will be a guest at the event in the small southern Italian mountain resort.

    "Here in and at the famous caves is the next Bond opening credits. Whether my there installed 'Trash People' will be seen on the edge of the film, is not yet clear. "And further:" I am an artist and not a film outfitter. And I have absolute priority here with my art! "

    https://express.de/koeln/was-hecken-die-denn-aus--james-bond-trifft-koelner-promi-in-sueditalien-32464814

    "At the moment, the Bond agents are sitting with my agent," reports Schult.

    "The scene should probably be used for the longer 007 opening credits." And Schult also explains: "The Bond films are indeed based on product placement. Because fit my sculptures so well into the picture. Thus the discarded is recycled in art.

    So much is already certain: On the weekend of the 24th and 25th of August 2019, Schult's trash people will be standing in front of the worldwide unique cave skyline of Matera during the filming of the now 25th James Bond.

    Great interview with PWB where she spoke a little bit about B25.

    "There's something about James Bond that always intrigued me in a similar way that Villanelle did," says Waller-Bridge, referencing Comer's Killing Eve assassin. "They live a fantasy! But it's a life none of us would ever want, if we're honest. We don't want to go put a bullet in someone's head to sleep with people and have martinis. It's a kind of fantasy nightmare." Asked about reports that Bond 25 actress Lashana Lynch will be picking up the 007 mantle, she says, "The whole thing has potential to birth new iconic characters all the time."

    She's cognizant and somewhat suspicious of the mild frenzy around her contribution: "A lot has been made of me coming on board because I'm a woman, and that's wonderful. But also I can't take credit for the movie that was written. It's Cary's movie."

    PWB clearly intends that we'll see Cary's film. Of course, movie has number of screenwrites but accoding to PWB words Cary is probably main author of this film.

    They paid her 2 million that's alot of money.

    As discussed by the Italian press, vehicles will have no access (and no right to park) at the Porta Pistola square/courtyard and the square between Via Madonne delle Virtù and Vico Sant'Agostino as early as August 16th, that's in two days. I presume that will be used for the units to park and set up shop, with trailers and the like.

    Filming in earnest (closing down streets and the like for shorter periods of time) seems to begin on the 24th.
    I'm not sure if this will be second unit only, or if the first unit will be there as well. I seem to remember the media were reporting Craig would arrive in September, so if it's a vehicle chase, it might be second unit only for August.

    And we just learned: a motorcycle chase on rooftops. Not too Craig PTS? There was a hotel room in SP, too. And thousand of extras.

    Here's my take: We know for a fact that scene 15 takes place at the cabin. That leaves a maximum of 14 scenes for the southern Italy scenes if they take place before. Now, scene 14 in SP is Bond entering Whitehall at the 16 min mark right after the main titles. In both SF and TWINE, the main titles were at the 16 min mark. But SF had a lot more scenes than both TWINE and SP. So judged from what we know about Matera, it's really impossible to tell if the PTS is short or long. It could be the longest in Bond history, or it could be one of the shortest. They spent three months in Turkey just for the 15 minutes PTS of SF.

    In fact, we don't know ANYTHING about what will be the PTS, what will be the direct follow up and so on.

    I do think that Matera will not be in it. Unless you want to ramp up a car chase, motorcycle chase and cemetery visit in 10 minutes.

    We don't know ANYTHING about the length of the PTS. The only thing we know for certain is that scene 15 takes place at the cabin. We also know that a scene can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes. There has been so many reports about Matera being the PTS, but I guess a clapperboard picture the coming month will reveal a whole lot.

    I think the entire film will be the gunbarrel, perfectly executed, on an endless loop.

    The very realistic balcony (exterior) together with the detailed inside (interior: wallpapers etc) must mean they gonna shoot both inside and outside so to speak. Otherwise they wouldn't put in so much work to all the details. Let's repeat:





    @Univex thoughts after me thinking the wallpapers was ugly (palm trees in my mind):

    "They actually look like orange trees to me. Some of them have fruits hanging on the branches. There are also other motifs, like birds and other kinds of trees. There are few things that accentuate the feel of the Mediterranean garden more that a citrus tree laden with juicy fruit. So, I'd say Matera is Matera. Ugly wall paper or not I bet I'll all look wonderful. The light blue walls against that wonderful blue sky. The iron railings on the veranda. These guys know what they're doing."

    And he's quite right.

    Perhaps it starts with a fight inside - through one of the balcony doors/windows - out on the balcony - leaping from there - chase begins...

    Shooting schedule for Matera

    Detailed press release from the article with the balcony pic. I've used google translate if the grammar and words looks weird here and there.

    A week or so for the start of filming in Matera of the 25th film of the series dedicated to James Bond, the secret agent of the British "M16" services with license to kill. And the confirmation that is missing very little at the first take comes from the orders of the municipal administration in the Sassi districts about the viability (from a logistical point of view we start with parking bans from August 16 at Porta Pistola) and the load tests for the heavy vehicle traffic. A study that has costs and will be useful to the Municipality of Matera to monitor and protect the ancient tuff quarters, of which we have recently dealt with https://giornalemio.it/cronaca/ahi-ahi-la-chianca-nei -sassi-route-to-obstacles / about the state of degradation of the roadbed. But there is something else. And they concern the sets in progress, some thirty, that will host the scenes all adventure, thrillers, loves, seductions, betrayals, intrigues that characterize the films of "007".

    Self-catering hotel in progress in Calata Ridola https://giornalemio.it/cinema/007-prenota-stanza-allhotel-balcony-build-nei-sassi/, under the balcony overlooking Piazzetta Pascoli, well integrated under the scenographic aspect with the context of the old tuff buildings of the Sassi districts, most of which in that area are to be consolidated and restructured. from the cinema a suggestion, albeit a temporary one, that with programming, will and resources reduces intervention times. The sets in the park of the Murgia are as distant as the one for the cemetery of Anglo-Saxon style with kiosks, crosses and the inevitable "Requiescat ...". And there is anticipation for the arrival of the protagonists starting with the protagonist Daniel Craig. You guess ... Before him the director Cary Fukunaga, of course, and other collaborators. Of course, for non-experts, all "top secret" and absolute silence after the press conference last July with municipal administrators, production and Lucania film commission. Matera, however, will have its return. Expectation paid off, discomforts understandable for residents and tourists alike, for the local economy that after 2019 will have - we are sure of - a promotional boost perhaps greater than Mel Gibson's 2012 The Passion.

    Press release

    "The crew has already identified the locations for the action, according to Rai News: Bond will be seen passing through the historic centre of Matera, past its Romanesque cathedral and through some of its atmospheric stone streets and squares, before entering the Sassi – the millennia-old cave dwellings that are protected by Unesco as part of the world's heritage.

    007 is well-travelled in Italy by now, having had memorable escapades over the years in Venice, Rome, Siena, by Lakes Como and Garda, in the mountains of Cortina D’Ampezzo and on the Sardinian coast. But Bond 25, as the latest film is known for now, will mark the first time the secret agent has headed to the far south of the mainland."

    So they film here until towards the end of september , then maybe a little in pinewood for October then that’s it? That’s only a 5 almolst six month shoot. We haven’t seen any photos of Armas, Malek , Swann , or Q on set. We saw mostly Craig , Lynch , Wright, a scene with Magnussen and two scenes with M.

    Had the same question been asked in 1999 referring to Purvis and Wade I might have said "Yes!!!!!". Today I sorely miss Maibaum, and Mankiewicz.

    For me it depends on the dialogue. I'd hope PWB has given the film some memorable lines we'll be quoting for the rest of our lives.

    I know some are finding the fact they know nothing excruciating but to me and others this is fantastic.

    I'd like to walk into the cinema 03.04.20 and know next to nothing, a very different picture to the one we had this far down SPECTRE's production.

    EON are doing a fantastic job of keeping this film under wraps despite the press and internet's prying.
