Exclusive: Pictures From Inside The Ice Palace

Could CommanderBond.Net get anymore exclusives? Probably. But let's move on.

Today we're back with more exclusive pictures from the sets of Die Another Day! While these pictures weren't taken recently, the majority of Bond fans haven't been given a sneak peak inside the Ice Palace. That was, until today!

In these pictures you'll note that the main room of the Ice Palace is still under construction. We can confirm that construction has already finished and that filming has already taken place on this set. As to whether or not filming has been completed on the set, I can't say.

But you're free to have your say about these pictures in this thread of the Die Another Day Forum! See you there!

Thanks to 'Placebo' for sending those images in to me.

John Cleese enjoyed working on 'DAD'

Jam! Showbiz have published an interview with actor veteran John Cleese, who is going to replace Desmond Llewelyn as 'Q'.

---

"I am Q now – I actually have a name," says Cleese, 62, of his role in the new Bond flick, Die Another Day, which stars Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry and will be in theatres in November. "It was terrific fun. I like the new director and I always got on with Pierce. He's a very clever actor. He's fascinating because when you're working with him he seems to be doing nothing at all, but then you see him on-screen and he's fantastic."

Well, that small quote confirms former Spy Reports which said that the 'Q'-Scenes already have been filmed.

Exclusive: Pictures From Filming In Cádiz

Thanks to 'Jaime Bond' we're back with these two exclusive pictures of filming of Die Another Day in Cádiz. While the images detail no specific spoilers (unless you put a lot of thought into it) the description of them do, so you'll have to highlight to read.

This first image shows filming taking place in Cádiz. The featured helicopter will reportedly be piloted by Rick Yune’s character ‘Zao’ in Die Another Day. At this stage, understandably, it is piloted by a stunt professional.

I should comment that the image has been digitally edited by myself to improve clarity. Due to poor weather conditions in Cádiz at the moment the picture was originally quite ‘dull’.

This second image shows the Sunseeker Superhawk 48 arriving in Cádiz. It was transported by lorry from the United Kingdom. ‘Rob’ was nice enough to send in this link that gives details on the Sunseeker. A very similair version of the Sunseeker appeared in the last James Bond cinematic adventure, “The World Is Not Enough”. There is no word yet on how the Sunseeker will feature in Die Another Day or why the producers have decided to use a very similair vehicle to one they did in the last feature.

That's all for now, however, we will be back with more images! So a big big thanks to 'Jaime Bond' for sending those in to us!

Update:

Cádiz newspaper Diario De Cadiz has published this photo of the filming taking place in Cádiz.

Thanks to White Knight for sending that image in!

Exclusive: Pierce Brosnan Arriving At Press Conference

Halle Berry's Salary For Die Another Day

The latest issue of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (April 12, 2002), which is out today, has a report on Halle Berry and her win at this years Academy Awards. As a part of the report they've revealed details on Halle's salary for Die Another Day.

Halle Berry's groundbreaking win, however is another story. MONSTER'S BALL saw a 32 percent box office bump in its post-Oscar weekend (the low budget indie has grossed $23 million) and Berry, 33, may be headed for a similar pay raise. Sources say she snagged a career-high $4 million dollars for the upcoming James Bond film DIE ANOTHER DAY. And one studio production head said she could command $6 million to $8 million for the right vehicle.

Thanks to 'Beamer' for the tip-off about the news!

Details Of Stunt Filmed In Cádiz

The online website Diario De Cadiz Digital has reported details on a scene filmed today in Cádiz involving Pierce Brosnan, Rick Yune and Halle Berry. However, the scene does involve spoilers so you'll have to highlight the report to read it.

Also on the matter of Halle Berry, She checked into a hospital in the middle of Cadiz, called ‘The Health Clinic’, as she complained about a pain in her eye. During the half an hour she was in the hospital, she was examined by Dr. Fernandez Repeto, fortunately, it was nothing serious just a little inflammation in the eye. She is to return to shooting today.
