An official picture from @007‘s own twitter account has been released which confirms a party/martini sequence is being shot. The below photo was posted with the caption “Dry martini?”

Also, through many unofficial channels we know that Skyfall was shooting at London’s Canary Wharf – more specifically at the local branch of the Four Seasons hotel – to capture a poolside sequence.

The 23rd James Bond film crew shot for a single day, December 1st, with a day either side dedicated to setup and pack down. Windows were blacked out on the infinity pool to ether create a “false” night or, as some fans speculate, to allow the pool area to double for a location other than London. The below shot was captured from a building opposite, despite the high security that comes with the shooting of a Bond film.

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.
