Craig was seen running from the building in to the crowd in search of the perpetrators.

Yesterday, Craig was on location from 10am. An intersection was closed off from the public for about 10 minutes for a special effects explosion. One of the Ministry of Public Security armoured trucks was used in the scene.

He took a break from filming on Sunday, but was spotted on a balcony of their hotel with director Sam Mendes.

On Saturday they shot scenes inside the Grand Hotel de la Ciuded de Mexico with Stehpanie Sigman. About 200 extras were used.

Also at the weekend, a production unit prepared Donecels Street with fake rubble to make it appear as if a building had collapsed. The street was closed whilst the debris, destroyed vehicles and special effects were tested.
