The Bahamas is of course beautiful, but isn't this location old hat for a Bond film and so anti-climactic?

I read on mi6.co.uk that one of the Czech locations is going to be the spa town of Karlovy Vary- I guess that town will stand in for Royale-les-Eaux.

So much for the claim that CR might also shoot in Bermuda. Looks like the film-makers never even scouted the island.

[box]James Bond will return . . . in the Bahamas

RUMOURS that secret agent James Bond will be jetting in to Bermuda to save the world from yet another evil tyrant have been quashed.

Last week the Bermuda Sun claimed speculation was rampant that the next Bond movie

Yeah, the 2000 video for She Bangs has Martin walking onto a beach, diving into the ocean, and then coming across an underwater club. He enters through a sheet of water. At the end of the video, he swims back ashore. So it would get compared to that. However, it's the *kind of thing* I wish Bond movies did a bit more. For all the much-trumpeted use of the Ice Hotel in DAD (a pretty similar idea), I didn't get any real sense of the place as being fantastic or absurd. They seemed to miss the entire point of it - apart from when it all gets crushed at the end, where was the establishing of the iciness of it? We saw about three seconds of footage. In the real Ice Hotel in Sweden, you have to sleep in furs, and so on - did Bond look cold? No, he looked like he was in any other casino. No flair. I hope they get back to the OTT stuff, but the OTT stuff that was cool. The Ice Hotel and the robo-mechanics and all that just fell flat for me - though at least they tried to do it after the poe-facedness of the previous film. Can't really put my finger on it, but I think an underwater casino is a very Flemingesque idea - even if a similar idea has been used in a pop video.

The Ricky Martin video was filmed in the Bahamas, interestingly.
