James Bond filming carries on despite script leak

Filming is underway on the next James Bond movie, "SPECTRE," despite the leak of a draft script in a huge hack of material from Sony Pictures.

Daniel Craig and co-star Rory Kinnear took to a London canal in a speedboat on Tuesday for a waterborne sequence. Shooting will take place at Pinewood Studios near London and on location in Morocco, Mexico and Austria.

Bond producer EON Productions has said that an early version of the script was among material stolen in the Sony cyberattack.

A lawyer for Sony Pictures Entertainment has warned news organizations not to publish details of company files leaked by hackers in one of the largest digital breaches ever against an American company.

But reams of sensitive material have already been published. Details of the "SPECTRE" script have circulated online.

The thriller, directed by Sam Mendes, is due for release in November 2015.

Academy Award-winning Austrian actor Christoph Waltz is joining the cast, while Andrew Scott -- Moriarty from BBC series "Sherlock" -- will play a government official. Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci are the new "Bond girls."

Craig will play Bond for a fourth time. The 46-year-old actor first starred in 2006's "Casino Royale," followed by 2008's "Quantum of Solace" and 2012's "Skyfall."
