Skyfall London Filming
5th November 2011
True to their word, the cast and crew of the new 007 adventure "Skyfall" were spotted on the streets of London this weekend, in the early stages of filming scenes from the forthcoming James Bond movie. Fans of the franchise will spot a few familiar faces amongst the crowd, including Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Sam Mendes, Michael G. Wilson and Rory Kinnear, who, whilst his recasting remains unconfirmed, appears to be returning to the role of Bill Tanner. The snaps also appear to confirm rumours of the vehicles involved: a Jaguar XJL and Range Rover Vogue SE.
