Greenwich Filming
7th January 2012
"Skyfall"
filming on Friday switched to the Old Royal Navy College in Greenwich,
London where the
King William Undercroft
restaurant was transformed in to a fictional morgue where eight
coffins were draped with Union Jack flags.
|
The dead are MI6 agents who suffered grisly
fates during the attack
on the organisation that is featured
in the opening of the movie. Dame Judi Dench filmed on
location as M.
Before the interior shots were captured, several black
hearses were seen carrying the coffins to the location
along College Way.
Given that M and Tanner have
filmed around Whitehall earlier, it may be assumed that
these streets in Greenwich are doubling for a government
building elsewhere.
As the official 007 Twitter photo reveals
(opposite), M inspecting the coffins is scene 35, which
places it early in the film,
before the underground office scenes and before Shanghai
which follows shortly thereafter. |

Javier Bardem was also seen on location in London on Friday.
Daniel Craig will be rejoining the production next week after
completing his European promotional tour for his new film "The
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo".
