Somwhere like the Postojna Caves in Slovenia would make a great villain's base, with it's own railway and gantries.
I don't think it would work as the villain's base of operations; the idea of an underground lair in what is obviously a tourist attraction wouldn't go own to well. But it would certainly work if Bond were tailing as suspect and got into a firefight.
Well I didn't necessarily mean THAT particular cave, but since there are so many similar Caves throughout the Balkans you recreate one at Pinewood without it being based on a tourist destination. Hell you even through in a giant squid and some tarantulas for good measures (i.e. the climax of the literary Dr No).
my God, Croatia really looks wonderfull! cool pics
Thanks! I'm planning on taking my girl there this summer, currently raising the funds and planning hotels and routes.
I could be wrong but Croatia is not that cost efficient right now to shoot in.
Certain locations would be more easy to recreate on set i.e. The fortresses and towns, with possible doubles in Italy or the south of France. However the places that I really like - the Plitvice Lakes, and Kornatie Islands would obviously be much harder and less cost effective to properly construct, without resorting to CGI.
The Fort Bakur looks promising, but the cathedrals etc just scream Montenegro, Venice and Sienna to me.
I agree, though the towns and Diocletian's Palace do have a different vibe to them, more of a Mediterranean feel similar to Istanbul in FRWL.
