Has bad weather over the first few days caused you to make any
adjustments to the script?
Neal Purvis: No, we have not had to make any changes.
Rob Wade: It hasn't made that much difference to the schedule,
over the last couple of days the filming has gone very well.
Neal Purvis: In addition, we have filmed when it has started
to rain.
The first days, in spite of rain, what scenes of action were
filmed in the Castle of San Sebasti�n?
Neal Purvis: What we filmed was with the helicopter, as
they are action scenes, they are possible to be shot very fast,
in only seconds, and if the action is very fast you will not notice
the rain in the scenes.
Could you tell us something about the scene that will be filmed
on the roof of the Tower of the Shrine?
Rob Wade: This is one of the most important scenes, because
it has a lot of dialogue. Now that the bad weather has left and
the sun and has come out, it is perfect for a dialogue scene.
Why choose this location and what does it contribute to the film?
Neal Purvis: It has magnificent views of the city. It
is the tile roof of the tobacco factory owned by Raul (Emilio
Echevarr�a), and for that reason in this scene he appears talking
to Bond.
Filming will last until June. Have you definitively closed the
script of "Die Another Day", or has it been left it
open for changes?
Neal Purvis: Yes, yes, is is definitely closed.
There was talk of using a sandy beach of the province of Cadiz
for shooting the final scene?
Robert Wade: No, we have changed our opinion, it will
no longer will be filmed.
How has location of Cadiz been for filming?
Both: Very well. It has been very easy to film here.
