Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have had a meeting with the president of the Roma Lazio Film Commission and filming permission is being sort from various authorities, it seems.
Forgive the translation...
EDIT: There might be what some would call a small spoiler in the text.
Luciano Sovena, president of Roma Lazio Film Commission, said:
"I met with the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and we discussed the project. One of the highlight scenes, among the most spectacular in the movie, will be a car chase in Via Quattro Fontane. They point us much, I'm already excited. I hope that streamlines common procedures for granting permits. It would be a shame to miss this great opportunity because of the bureaucracy. "And he added:" Hosting the epic film 007 is part of the strategy of Roma Lazio Film Commission that it intends to attract large foreign productions in the region, tearing studios in Europe and encourage Italian independents.
