In addition to learning about the opening of the film, I learned a lot about other aspects of the production and will be posting more updates soon. They have their hair and makeup done which takes anywhere from one and a half hours to two and a half hours. They all kind of file in at 4:30 in the morning to this big convention center. He’s the only person who’s insured to do 360 flips in this helicopter in the world, so we’re doing a bit of the stunts here but kind of the bigger helicopter stuff is happening 10 hours outside the city at a lower altitude.

The helicopter is piloted by a guy called Chuck Aaron, who is a stunt pilot. Skiara jumps on, Bond follows, pulls off one of the baddies, Bond jumps on the helicopter, helicopter goes up, and they start to have this fight in the helicopter.

Helicopter lands, it’s full of a couple of other baddies. As the running Skiara is on his mobile phone he’s calling for backup, cue the helicopter coming down the street. What we’ve been shooting over the past couple of days is Bond chasing Skiara slowly making their way through the Day of the Dead parade. The baddie’s character is called Skiara, who’s played by Alessandro Cremona, he’s an Italian actor. He sees two baddies across the way having a conversation, and he stops something really bad from happening, kills one of the guys, the other guy goes running, Bond jumps out of the window and there’s a bit of a chase, he causes a building to explode and they both end up-boom-on the ground, and the foot chase starts. They’re going up to Estrella’s room, Estrella thinks she might be bringing Bond to bed but instead he’s looking out the view of her window. They’re kind of weaving their way through this Day of the Dead parade, they make their way into a hotel-we’ve also shot here once before in The Living Daylights. Estrella is played by Stephanie Sigman, who is a Mexican actress. It starts with Bond and Estrella, who are walking down this Day of the Dead parade. This is the opening chase sequence of our film. It really sounds fantastic and it should be between twelve to fifteen minutes of screen time!
