Reports from those behind the scenes have begun to emerge via the social media networks, including Twitter, that Skyfall is currently shooting at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Although it is expected that 007 and his entourage will spend considerable time in Shanghai for Skyfall, scenes are being shot closer to home.
MI6 has tracked down a stealthy behind the scenes photograph that reveals the location that Ascot is standing in for.
Tweeters on location report that shooting at Ascot has continued well into the night with wraps coming any time between 11.30pm and 3am.
About Skyfall – James Bond 23 (2012)
The new Bond movie will star Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Albert Finney and Judi Dench, produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The 007 screenplay will be written by regular James Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, working with John Logan (Gladiator & The Last Samurai). Director of American Beauty and Road To Perdition, Sam Mendes will be directing the new James Bond movie. MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment in a joint statement on 2nd June 2011 announced that “Bond 23″ will go on release in the UK on Friday, 26th October, 2012 and in the USA on 9th November 2012. The first major announcement from EON Productions and Sony Pictures came on 3rd November 2011 in London when the principle cast was announced, along with a rough plot line. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

I believe that Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace fell considerably short of expectations at the box office, continue in this mediocre new format and you will have yet another flop.
The remedies, if it is not broken don’t fix it, Bond films are a British tradition, and the customer is always right. Give the public what they have come to expect from the previous Bond films. Get an exciting script, play the original John Barry Bond theme tune, and return to the spectacular and extravagant settings, sardonic tongue in cheek humour and glamorous heroes and heroines of the previous Bond films. The last two films have almost done what various villains could not do, that is kill James Bond (well the series anyway).
