And the shooting schedule?
Don't forget - they spent 3 months in Turkey, to shoot a 12 minute action setpiece. They are spending less time in Austria.
The action setpiece in Austria will not last minimum 25 minutes. That is purely speculation. It would make it the longest action setpiece - ever!
And the script? I have also read it. Can't comment on it here, of course.
Mexico is coming.
Casting call for 5th, 6th and 7th of February: all ages and nationalitys allowed! A crowded scene, probably! http://www.archivo007.com/index.php/noticias/spectre/1659-casting-en-mexico
Yes, because the entire PTS of "Skyfall" basically was a non-stop action sequence. Very much like the PTS of "TLD". Hence the lengthy filming time with 1st, 2nd and even a 3rd unit.
I do have a feeling though, that the Austria-part in the film will not be non-stop action. The 2-day filmed scenes in Altaussee for instance, could hint to more lengthy romantic drama in the film. And also don't forget that scenes inside the actual village have been filmed. Or what about Madeleine in the IceQ restaurant.
So let's wait and see. I know you have read the entire screenplay of "SPECTRE", but @Zekidk at least try to not imply things too much based on that knowledge. I know it'll be the truth then. And some people hope that Austria will feature big time in "SPECTRE".
I see your point. And I will not comment on your assumptions about the movie.
But telling everyone that you have read the script, and then arguing that the setpiece will last at least 25 minutes based on knowledge from reading the script, is certainly not something that belongs in this thread. (the word "script" itself should be flagged from this thread from now on.)
Secondly, it's misinformation. Probably not deliberately, though.
Can't wait for the movie !!! :-)
Neve Gachev as "Clinic Patron"
She's quite the catch for small cameos in spy movies. She already appeared in "Red 2", "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit", "Skyfall" (a veryy small cameo as a London comuter) anddddd indeed now "Kingsman: The Secret Service" :-).
EDIT: Nothing
Can see where Mendes got his influences there.
2nd and 3rd unit: Obertilliach and Sölden in Austria.
I wouldn't agree with you as there is a lot of scenes to shoot in Mexico, they can't do it in 3 days.
And the dates: 5th, 6th and 7th of February don't regard the filming but the choice of the extras.
You said it @jake24
That's one ugly ass villain. He should be great.
Again here shows the love for "LALD" ;-). Who didn't love all the scene's of "death" in that PTS, especially with all that dancing and jumping during funerals and killings ;-).

Another red herring for Blofeld?
Wouldn't it be funny if she turned out to a SPECTRE agent keeping an eye on Bond? :)
But perhaps more like:
I think "SPECTRE" will have quite a few agents operating under tight supervision of the head of SPECTRE ;-). Call them "red herrings", but fact is in order to have a well-oiled machine, a tightly run syndicate vs. brotherhood...you need people. Perhaps a lot of people. Because SPECTRE basically is the villainous counterpart of MI6. At least, that's how Ian Fleming wrote the syndicate:
"In Ian Fleming's novels, SPECTRE is a commercial enterprise led by Blofeld. Their top-level members are 21 individuals, 18 of whom handle day-to-day affairs and are drawn in groups of three from six of the world's most notorious criminal organisations—the Gestapo, SMERSH, Marshal Josip Broz Tito's secret police, the Mafia, the Unione Corse, and a massive heroin-smuggling operation based in Turkey.
Their debut is in Thunderball. At the time of writing the novel (1959) Fleming believed that the Cold War might end during the two years it would take to produce the film, which would leave it looking dated; he therefore thought it better to create a politically neutral enemy for Bond.
Fleming's SPECTRE has elements inspired by mafia syndicates and organised crime rings that were actively hunted by law enforcement in the 1950s. The strict codes of loyalty and silence, and the hard retributions that followed violations, were hallmarks of U.S. gangster rings, Mafia, the Unione Corse, the Chinese Tongs/Triads and the Japanese Yakuza/Black Dragon Society."
While I love the SPECTRE from the Fleming's novel "Thunderball", I do think that SPECTRE in "SPECTRE" will be more like QUANTUM. And will also be much bigger than the original SPECTRE. On top of that, I think it will have operatives embedded in political/governmental institutions. With one big difference compared to QUANTUM:
--> It will refer to the failures of SPECTRE's predecessor QUANTUM,
--> It will be way better organized,
--> It will be headquartered somewhere,
--> It will execute strict, ruthless, deadly retributions, and
--> It will be much harder to get for agent James Bond 007 ;-).
In any case......I WANNA SEE SPECTRE NOW!!! 8-X
I just bought a new LED-tv (Philips, Ultra HD (4K), with Android, curved, 1000 Hz, 48 inch, with ambilight), because I need to have the best Bond movie marathon towards "SPECTRE":
=P~
Lucky you :-) :-) :-) My TV, isn't even working :-(
