Mendes has stated that he's always been a fan of the movies, but the real draw for him is his response to seeing Daniel in Casino Royale

Barbara Broccoli is, apparently a fan of Sam Mendes, and is impressed by his 'boyish excitement'

Daniel says he is very comfortable stepping back into the role, and has mentioned that they start shooting today

Unsurprisingly all of the cast are fans of the films

Mendes has been asked about whether there will be lots of gadgets in the films. He has replied that 'he can't give much away, but there will be lots of surprises'

The Bond ladies have been asked to expand on their roles.

Craig has been asked to compare Bond to his character in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. His response, 'They're completely different'

Berniece has told us her name in the film is Severine, a glamourous character apparently.

11:58
Naomi will be playing a 'field agent called Eve'

The producers have been asked whether they are cutting back on budgets for the film. Barbara Broccoli response 'does it look like we're cutting back'

This was followed up by Michael saying that 'everything is as it was in the last two films'

Skyfall apparently does not relate to any existing Flemming property.

Various people have been considered for the theme, but there is no one to announce at this stage.

Daniel has been asked what he has brought to the Bond character. He wants to make the best Bond movie he could noting 'Bond with a capital 'B''

12:02
Javier Bardem: It is a pleasure and an honour to be involved,

Bardem is tight lipped on the 'path' the villain will be taking in this movie

Mendes is talking about working with his second unit team 'I find it fascinating and exciting'

Mendes 'action needs to co-exist with the drama'

Mendes has been asked whether they are aiming for Oscars 'I think a Bond movie is for the audience, and only for the audience'

There are, apparently a lot of things planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bond, but there isn't anything to announce just yet.

Naomi Harris has been doing yoga, stunt driving and firing machine guns.

Mendes has been asked whether this is a 'one time only gig'. His response is that, if in six months time he's having as much fun as he is now, the answer is 'yes' YES?

Barbara has said that the name 'Skyfall' has some emotional context that will become clear when we see the film

The film is in the same style as the last two

Just asked Sam if we might recognise the names of the characters that they won't reveal. His response 'they might do, then again, they might not.'

Craig on being typecast as Bond 'I just like wqorking. I've been lucky enough to have some good roles thrown at me'.

That's it ladies and gentlemen. Hope you found it useful and interesting.

Barbara responds "Definitly" when asked, if DC wioll do more Bonds after this and Daniel says: I'll be happy, if I can do this for a couple of mor years. It seems confirmed, he will be in 24 at the very least.
