As actor Daniel Craig and the production crew prepare to film a high-speed car chase scene in Central London’s Smithfield Market in less than a month, development of the next James Bond movie appears to be speeding up.
The action scene will reportedly depict 007 switching from driving a Range Rover to a Jaguar while both automobiles are moving.
The London location shoot is scheduled to take place on November 7th and will mark the beginning of photography of the 23rd Bond film. Location filming is also expected to take place in Scotland, South Africa, and Turkey. A traditional kick-off press conference will be held in late November when shooting on sound stages at Pinewood Studios commences.
The majority of the principal cast has been confirmed, including Javier Bardem‘s starring role as Bond’s antagonist. One role that has not been cast yet is that of the requisite seductive Bond girl. 
Reportedly, director Sam Mendes and the casting team have narrowed down a list of Asian actresses being considered for the role and 32 year-old Chinese actress Tang Wei is at the top of the list. Wei has previously been seen in the films Lust-Caution, Late Autumn, and Crossing Hennessy.
The movie, rumoured to be titled Skyfall, is expected to be released in November of 2012.
