I'd love Bond to head back to Egypt. An Aquatic Bond film would be great, too. Something along the lines of Thunderball.

He hasn't spent much time in South America, a place ripe for Bondage, particularly given the current political situation there.

According to reports and the December 2005 script draft, Pakistan will briefly feature in CASINO ROYALE. Slightly off topic here, but does anyone know where they filmed/will film the scenes in the cricket ground? I imagine it would be pointless to actually go to Lahore and film at a test match, and a cricket stadium would be difficult to recreate in a studio. Any ideas?

Personally, I'd like to see Bond in South Africa and perhaps Beijing.

Anywhere in Central or South America (other than Rio, which we've had already) would do nicely. Buenos Aires would be a beautiful location for a future film. Guatemala, with its volcanoes and huge Mayan temples would also be great.

How about Norway? Having Bond and villains getting up to mischief halfway up the side of a fjord?

Looking good!

By the way, while we're talking about locations, has anyone else noticed that CR may well be the first major film to be set in (if not filmed in) Europe's newest state?

London, definitely, a dark thriller set on a back drop of the river thames, london eye and buckingham palace. Bond is British so i reckon an adventure set close to home is exactly what we need.

I would like to see Easter Island in a Bond film. Those mystoriuse heads would be cool.

Bond going to Egypt again would be good. Try and get the Pyrimyds involved.

Also Bond has never been to Australia in the film. So perhaps adapt Zero Minus Ten where Bond is at Aires Rock.

I would love to see a Bond film to have the rich, tropical style of Dr. No again. There's something about the clear blue water and palm trees of Crab Key that really pull you into it and away from drab reality.

The coastal pictures above are great-- would love to see one set on the coast of South America.

Reports from U. S. entertainment news programs have the Bond people filming CR in Prague, Czech Republic, formerly known as Czechoslovakia. Before the end of the Cold War, this country was a location in the storyline in TLD, but actually filmed in Austria. I would definitely love to see Bond filmed on location in all the former Eastern Bloc countries.

I'd love to see a return to Japan; but, I'd really like them to show the place. The scenes with Little Nelly could have been shout in any hilly terrain in any continent and most of the Tokyo footage was all rear projected during the driving scenes. :-(

Let's see a little of the Fleming travelogue style!!!

One more thing: If they show any of Tiger Tanaka-san's "ninja" in action, how about actually getting a fight choreagrapher who actually knows something about historical ninjutsu ryu-ha. I want to see some Gyokko Ryu or Koto Ryu footwork!!!

What about Portugal? Lisbon maybe, or even the Azorean islands?
Yeah, I think the Azores would be a fantastic place for Bond to have some sort of a vacation comissioned by Mi6, like in the beginning of TB :tup:

I wonder if the producers will try and get permission to shoot in South Africa again, after all the fiasco over securing rights for CASINO ROYALE. There are so many different locations within that single country that could be explored - Sun City, Cape Town and the Garden Coast. I suppose that they would like to do the same as they have for the current film - find a few different filming locations (Czech Republic, The Bahamas, Italy) that are versatile enough to reflect much more diverse places in the actual movie (Madagascar, Montenegro, etc.)

Personally, I'd also like to see Bond in the Middle East and parts of Asia - this would continue with the current vein of realism that seems to be running through the producers' thinking. These are much grittier places in terms of encapsulating the global threat that James Bond as an MI6 spy in the 21st century would be facing. And then locations such as Dubai could provide a more exotic accompaniment to this.

Indonesia would be a perfect location for Bond 22. It's a beautiful country and it has the largest Islamic population in the world so it would be good for realistic aspect.

I would like to see Bond in Australia - mainly because I live there, and it would be cool to try and see them shooting!!

Otherwise, how about this:-

Pre-titles sequence in Rome.

Then - Monaco, followed by Argentina/Brazil....

I'd like to see Malaysia as a location for future Bond films. After all, we do have one of the Top 5 tallest skycrapers in the world and also one of Top 10 greatest 5-star hotels in the world, The Palace of the Golden Horses:

I just got back from Beirut this morning and was thinking exactly the same thing, Lebanon has some perfect locations for a Bond film. Forget Dubai though, a less exotic location you'd be pushed to find. Loads of other opportunities out here and of course politically there's plenty of scope for a Bond story, however I don't think the producers could go down that road, people out here are easily offended and I'd hate to see the kind of furore around a Bond film that we had for DVC or Brokeback Mountain.

I'd like to see Bond in Scotland, Argentina (I know he's already been there), Canada (especially Quebec), Myanmar, Egypt, and Israel.

Has Bond ever been in Los Angeles? I can't recall.
