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

He's briefly passed through in both the films DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER and A VIEW TO A KILL, but I don't think he's actually been there in the actual city, just the international airport in both instances I think.

He wasn't in "avtak" (it was San Francisco) but in "Moonraker"

For me it would be Budapest, Hungary (Great city), Hawa

I would like to see Bond come here to Sydney, just so we can have a first-hand glimpse of filming, and also to have a nearby Bond location to visit for years to come....

When I lived in London, there were lots of previous Bond locations nearby!

This resort spa and casino was actually modeled after Carlsbad which we now know as Karlovy Vary (where CR was filmed).

You won't guess where it's at in a million years... (see Spoiler tags).

Spoiler

West Baden, Indiana! (next to Larry Bird's hometown of French Lick). It's reopening in 2007 after being closed for around 70 years.

I dont know if I'd want to, but it would surprise me if he would ever come to Finland. Apart of the books that is.

Sure, we dont have any exotic locations, but when the winter's good, he could come up here and put some skis on. If Bond hasn't been ski'ing enough in the movies , that is.

[moorebond82]

How about New York City?

[Special Edition]

Send Bond to Australia !!!! Bring him to Melbourne to deal with crooked bookmakers at the Melbourne Cup financing an evil genius.

LOL, good one!!

But I would rather he came to Sydney so we could watch the filming!!!

Three times in Venice, once in Cortina, Bond has been to every place in Italy except Rome and the Tuscany region. What did Lake Como substitute for?

[Athena3]

I'd also be interested in seeing him in Germany again. The castle Neuschwanstein would make a neat location. (sorry, can't understand how the "quote" option works just yet.)


I'd like to see that as well.

As far as I know it was intended to be Lake Como itself. The script draft referred to the clinic where Bond recovers as certainly being there, but no specific location is mentioned for Mr White's villa.

[DaveBond21]

They're welcome to film in my street if they want. There is always lots of intrigue near me. There's the park, with the mysterious joggers and yoga gang.

Then there's the bum who gets drunk on the corner. He's probably an undercover informer of some kind.

And there's the shops - always plenty happening there. Maybe Bond can chase the butcher over the rooftops?

[supernova]

I like the idea of Bond in Arizona - great landscape and those canyons! Also Bond in China would be good.

[carddoug]

mammoth cave in kentucky. and of course churchill downs.

[SilencedPPK]

Salt Lake City!

[darkpath]

Indonesia & the southern Phillipines if they are going to maintain the realistic approach as seen in CR

[punkinpuss]

Tunisia, although they've had some huge film productions in the past (think Tatouine). They've got Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, ksars, the Chott el Jerid, numerous Roman era ruins, medinas, etc. Plus it could stand in for Algeria.

Christmas Island during the red crab migration -- unbearably creepy and highly impractical lol.

In Brazil, the colonial towns of Minas Gerais, the Pantanal. I haven't been to the NE of Brazil, but that's supposed to be pretty stunning as well.

Namibia has a lot of cool landscapes as well.

[DaveBond21]

I would like to see Bond in London, Austria, and China.


There is a rumour going around that quite a lot of Bond 22's action will be in London itself.

[Bond fan since March 2000]

How about Antarctica? Bond has never been there & it's quite cold which could make for suspense. Also, he should go back to Las Vegas some time cuz it has changes quite a bit from then in the last 35 years.

In the 007 films that I thought of, Here are the Locations:
Film #3
1. Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
2. Durban, South Africa
3. Miami, Florida, U.S.
4. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
5. Peru
6. London, England

Dubai, eh? That's the only place on that list I've been to (I'm in... lol) and must say that Dubai lacks ONE huge MUST for Bond movies (IMHO) - a Casino. Having a Casino is illegal here, so is gambling, or playing cards in public (I got told off countless times for attempting to do stuff as harmless as games of "go fish" where we bet on bags on potato chips). 007 wouldn't be toooo happy about it.
UNLESS, of course, there is a villain dealing with the casino that shall be opened pretty soon on the Palm Island because by some strange logic in law (both legislative and religious), it is

[Craig is 007]

I hope that Daniel Craig will go back to India. I liked the location very much in Octopussy, and I think that Craig and EON Productions would make a great Bond-film there:D

[00Twelve]

I'd like to see several locations throughout the next several films, in no particular order...

- The forests of the Western Canadian area, such as Vancouver. I'd love to see a manhunt scenario here. (Not unlike 'The Hunted.')

- Lisbon, Portugal. Beautiful, beautiful city.

- Buenos Aires, Argentina. It's been a long time since Bond has visited South America, and I think this would be the best location now that we've seen Rio.

- Jamaica. Return to Fleming's Bond's stomping grounds.

- I'd personally love to see Bond in Rome, but probably not gonna happen anytime in the near future.

I'm so glad they finally used Lake Como! I thought after Star Wars and Ocean's 12 that it would be untouchable to EON. Props to them.

[Judo chop]

The Falkland Islands.

I have no idea what's to be seen there, but I'm fascinated by the remoteness of them, and my sense of adventure is piqued, when I see them on the globe.

Oooh... the Falkland Islands... so far away.... so mysteriousss....

see?

[Skudor]

I always fancied the Arctic or the Antarctic as a setting - both are magnificent and not exactly somewhere everyone and their granny have been. Plenty of scope for exciting action as well - but for authenticity I'd expect them to actually film some of it there, on location.

[Craig is 007]

These locations could be perfect in a future Bond-film.

Jamaica
Malaysia
Bahamas
Norway
China
Algeria

Algeria as a location would fit the rumor about Vespers algerian boyfriend being the villain in Bond 22.

My old firm used to have offices in the falklands and updated us regularly with periodical newsletters pics and updates on the weather which was something like this:
February - July - cold and very windy
August - January - freezing and extremely windy
The landscape judging by the pics looks like 25 miles of a flat badly kept lawn, with a few sheep scattered about and a few huts with corregated roofs. (I think these are actually houses).

I am not convinced that it has the requisite hint of glamour required for a JB movie!!

<sound of bubble bursting>

[RazorBlade]

I like London, LA and NYC. For exotic, I like Vietnam. Fighting Somali pirates would be cool too.

[mttvolcano]

He needs to spend more time in Africa and go to mexico, the pacific isles and Colorado. Colorado is the best place for like a ski scene.

[Judo chop]

South America, and preferably somewhere down along the West coast. Chile or Argentina would be very cool. You

Toronto or Barbados!!!!!!!
