The footage is some much-needed positive news for a production that has been plagued with issues.
Fans of 007 got their first look at the upcoming James Bond film, which is for the moment dubbed Bond 25.
The minute-long footage teased on Tuesday was a mixture of the film and behind-the-scenes moments.
“On set with #Bond25: Jamaica. Check out director Cary Fukunaga, Daniel Craig (James Bond #007), @jfreewright (Felix Leiter) and @LashanaLynch (Nomi) in this behind the scenes look at our recent Caribbean filming,” the 007 Twitter account shared.
The first look is some much-needed positive news for the production that has been plagued with issues.
Just over the weekend, a 49-year-old man was charged with allegedly hiding a camera in a woman’s bathroom on set at Pinewood Studios. It is unclear how the suspect is involved with either the untitled 007 film or Studios, if at all.
Before that, star Daniel Craig had to undergo minor ankle surgery resulting from an injury sustained while filming in May.
Then in early June, a controlled explosion went wrong, resulting in damage to the exterior of the famed 007 stage at the iconic studio. Officials claimed there were no injuries on set, but the verified movie Twitter account did report that a crewmember outside the stage had suffered a “minor injury.”
Bond 25 is set to bow April 8, 2020, domestically through MGM’s United Artists and Annapurna.
In another event, CNN reports that a man arrested after hidden camera found in James Bond studio toilets.
A man was arrested Friday after a hidden camera was found in the women’s toilets at Pinewood Studios, in Buckinghamshire, England, where the next James Bond film is being filmed.
The 49-year-old man was subsequently charged with voyeurism, a spokesperson for Thames Valley Police told CNN. He will appear in court Saturday.
Filming is currently underway at Pinewood Studios for “Bond 25,” the upcoming James Bond movie that’s likely to be Daniel Craig’s last in the title role.
A controlled explosion on the Bond set at Pinewood Studios injured a crew member earlier this month.
The project has suffered repeated delays: original director Danny Boyle pulled out in August, and was replaced the following month by Cary Joji Fukunaga. In May, Craig was injured during filming, requiring ankle surgery.
Earlier this month, a controlled explosion during filming injured one crew member and damaged the exterior of the 007 stage.
On Thursday, Prince Charles visited the Bond 25 set, meeting Craig as well as Naomie Harris and Ralph Fiennes, who play Moneypenny and M respectively. “You haven’t had any more things blowing up recently?” Charles reportedly asked a set worker.
