I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s already being judiciously used on the bigger movies to airbrush away the bags and jowls from the ageing A listers (sometimes without them even knowing it).
I hope was paid well 
Someone’s commented at the foot of that article:
A quantum of Solent
Very good 
All this U.K. coastal filming is giving me a Moonraker (novel) vibe.
So I guess this confirms a daylight PTS?
Not sure if that’s Bond. But I think it could be. I wish there was footage of the jump to give more context.
I agree with those who say the suit looks a bit odd and not in style with Daniel’s Bond. Could be Magnussen’s CIA character.
We did see what looked like a lighting rig, which is the reason for my comment about the sequence being during the day. I’m very inclined to believe Matera will be the PTS.
Matera, possible time jump and then Jamaica is my prediction.
This scene is going to look absolutely gorgeous.

If they don’t decide to color degrade everything this film will look as vibrant and travelogue-ey as the classic Bonds!

CJF is fond of colour tools.
I’m very curious to see if any DB5 gadgets get used in the sequence. Hoping so…
Suppose you could eject someone over the side of that bridge. Although (assuming it’s not Bond) not sure how the man in the beige suit would end up in the DB5.
More photos and a video in this article, including goons with bad shirts:
It certainly looks like an intentional leap off the bridge. Despite the terrible shirt and tie, it would make most sense for this to be Bond.

I’m really hoping they go all in on this car chase. The one in Goldeneye is exciting but lightweight. I’m hoping this one has makes the most out of the vehicle’s gadgetry and has a sense of threat. This is shaping up to be a really special movie.

Interesting - I thought it could’ve been Bond. The article says armed guards were patrolling, but Bond evaded them with his jump off the bridge. This seems like a mission to me. Not just Bond and Madeleine driving around on a Honeymoon. My question would be if the DB5 chase has already happened by the time he makes the jump, or if the jump transitions to the chase.
And what really grabbed my attention was an ‘on set source’ saying it would provide “a nail biting ENDING for the film.” Can this ‘source’ be believed? Could Matera actually be the ending?

I sincerely hope that they will neither kill Bond nor end on a cliffhanger.
Dramatic tension cannot be achieved by killing the main character. Especially when we all know he will return.
Maybe it’s just a clone?
Or Bond faking his demise YOLT-like?
Or a parallel to the Skyfall PTS and Eve taking ‘the bloody shot’.

Unless they don’t include the customary: James Bond will Return.
Have you noticed that every time there is an article written about a new stunt, scene, or any news on the film, that the journalists find it necessary to revisit all the negative aspects of the shoot, making sure that nobody forgets that part of the film’s journey. You know, just in case you think this film is shaping up to be a blockbuster, don’t forget what REALLY happened along the way. I find it disgusting.
Because negativity sells, positivity does not. I don’t care about the production issues anymore. I’m just salivating at any morsel that comes out about NTTD. I’m pumped for it. Negativity be damned!
