Which South American country do you think will be in 'Bond 22'?

Later, we'll be able to see if the country with the most votes was picked for the film.

[Cruiserweight]

Brazil sounds right

[Publius]

Argentina, and not just because I'm half-Argentinean.

I'm mostly going on gut instinct here, but I think the prominence of Brazil in Moonraker will rule it out, while the use of a tropical environment in CR (and other Bond movies) will rule out places like Colombia. Nothing like Argentina has been used so far, however, and it's diverse enough to allow everything from mountains to wide-open plains to feature prominently.

[DLibrasnow]

I voted for Brazil. Even though it appeared in Moonraker it just strikes me as a very Bondian location.

[Harmsway]

Puerto Rico was rumored a week or so ago over on that other site. So that's either an actual location, or it will double for one.

As for the location I'd want? Brazil or Argentina.

[Vauxhall]

Peru or Chile for me. I would be surprised if it was Brazil to be honest, and I think you can safely rule out actually filming in Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana or Suriname. Just as long as we don't get a ficticious Latin American country such as Isthmus again...

[Qwerty]

I voted Brazil, but I'd also venture Argentina as another guess.

[dinovelvet]

Bearing in mind that there is rumored to be a ski sequence in Bond 22, it could well take place somewhere on the Andes. So maybe Chile or Argentina are good bets.

[killkenny kid]

Argentina, thank very much.

[Whalltt]

Brazil.

It has a lot more to offer than the obvious "postcard view" featured in MR.

How about Machu Picchu in Peru?

That's what i said in the other thread before seeing this one! You're spot on mate!

Or Gyana for Angel Falls (or maybe Iguazu in Brazil) if they want waterfall action.

[DamnCoffee]

Argentina got my vote. Just sounds very Bondain.

Iguazu was already in Moonraker (Moore flew over it in a hangglider).

I'd have voted for "no preference" had that been an option. I just think it's a good idea as South America has been an underused locale for Bond films over the years. I'm just glad to see him out of the usual European and Asian setting and to someplace different.

[Santa]

I think they'll probably go with one of the bigger ones like Argentina but I used to live in Ecuador and it offers some fantastic locations, as do some of the other smaller SA countries like Bolivia, Paraguay or Uruguay so I would prefer to see them.

[Agent 76]

My guess is , Argentina.

[Loomis]

My pick would be Ecuador, although I'm sure that they'd use a stand-in country (then again, Forster has just filmed THE KITE RUNNER in Xinjiang, of all places [doubling for Afghanistan], so he may be an adventurous chap when it comes to locations and therefore well up for shooting in, for instance, Ecuador rather than, in good old recent Bond movie style, doubling, say, Florida - or, heaven help us, somewhere in Berkshire - for Ecuador).

I seem to remember an early rumour for BOND 21 (long before we knew it as CASINO ROYALE) that had Chile as one of the locations. Wonder if there was any truth to that, and if so whether it might be one of Eon's Unused Ideas™ finally seeing the light of day.

Ecuador would actually be a very easy place to film in. Remember that Meg Ryan/Russell Crowe film Proof of Life? Dreadful film but amazing locations, shot in Ecuador (standing in for yet another fictional SA country) and found by my boss there. It's pretty stable as far as SA countries go and absolutely spectacular.

Looking back at an old Bond 21 thread, it seems alot of Bond fans wanted Argentina and a few other South American locations. Chile got a mention as well.

[MarcAngeDraco]

I voted for Argentina. Of course there's always the question of whether the country they filmed in will be the 'country' that appears in the film...

[Matt_13]

Ecuador for me.

[Tarl_Cabot]

I chose Uruguay because of Punte De Este, a Casino resort mecca for the "fast international set" and which is perfect for a 007 film. I would also approve of Argentina and Chile, but I think we've seen Brazil already. Let the other countries get thier Bondage on. There's another famous hotel not in Punta that looks like Greece, which also could be a great locale:

[K1Bond007]

Chile.

[AgentPB]

I also think Chile would be an excellent location, the ski scenes could take place in Chile. I would say Peru if it wasn't for the fact that i can't see a Bond film set in Peru it just doesn't sound right

[DaveBond21]

I voted for Brazil too.

But I wonder if the actual location will be doubling for somewhere else?

[Righty007]

Nobody voted for Bolivia although Chile has 2 votes.

[DamnCoffee]

Peru would've been cool.

[Double-Oh Agent]

Somehow I missed the original vote back in 2007. If I had seen it, however, I would have voted for Argentina.

[Vauxhall]

Nobody voted for Bolivia although Chile has 2 votes.

Miraculously Bolivia has gained two votes today... There's nothing quite like hindsight!
