Vauxhall Bridge Filming
17th February 2012
The "Skyfall" crew
continued their location shoot on Vauxhall Bridge on Sunday 12th
February, this time with cast members Dame
Judi Dench and Rory
Kinnear in attendance, guided by director Sam Mendes. The
shoot took over 4 hours with the road closed to the public.
The action shot
on the bridge will be seen at the beginning of the
film, when M's car is blocked from getting close to
the famous MI6 building by police. M and Tanner watch
in horror as an explosion rocks the area. The fireball
will be a digital effect, unlike "The World Is
Not Enough" when the production built a large
scale replica of the front of the building in order
to blow a hole in it.
