Would love to see Bond here in Sydney.

Otherwise, why not have him enjoying some of the English countryside. Not far from this lake in North West England (not Scotland), there is an RAF base and a lot of low flying RAF planes.

amazing scenery there.

[DamnCoffee]

I would very much like to see Bond in a cold climate for Bond 23, I've always loved the scenery in OHMSS, it would be very nice if we could see Bond 23 top that.

perhaps, Copenhagen - Denmark (Le Chiffre's [Mads Mikkelsen] homeland )

Indeed. There are 12 other lakes just as beautiful in northern England.

I like that, I like that alot.

I've been to Copenhagen several times and it's really a beautiful place. It's a fairly big city, but has this small town charm with it's small, old buildings and narrow canals.

Bond should definately visit Copenhagen some time in the future, and it's a shame the series hasn't been to Scandinavia before.

[DaveBond21]

Copenhagen seems like a very Daniel Craig Bond location.

Copenhagen seems like a very Daniel Craig Bond location.

I'd second that! Besides, Scandinavia is the place for a navy man!

[Marketto007]

Bond should come to Brazil again...

MON (Museu Oscar Niemeyer) in Curitiba.

Cancún Mexico, Playa del Carmen:








I personally did take that pic.

As you can see, Cancun is the best beach in the world and Craig should come to have a nice shot here.

Nice. But is Cancun exclusive enough for Bond?

The Wave Tower - Dubai






Now THIS would be cool to see in a Bond movie.

[DamnCoffee]

That's beautiful!

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Sorry if any of these have been mentioned, but I haven't read through everyone's posts!

Faro, Portugal
Austria (again, because it is probably the most photogenic country in the world)
Paris again, as for me, not enough was made of it in A View To A Kill. It's a city worthy of a much better chase sequence as well!
Dublin? Bond hasn't been to Ireland yet and it's only a hop over the pond!
Freiburg, Germany
Basel, Switzerland
Le Toucet, France
Dijon, France
Venice (always love seeing Venice in a Bond movie!)
Florence, as beautiful as Siena!
San Diego?
Vegas again?
South Africa, as he missed out in Diamonds Are Forever!
Moscow, he STILL hasn't been!

Having seen 10 seconds of Quantum of Solace and knowing the locations for this film, what kind of scenery and locations can we expect next? Will they try to contrast the locations with Daniel Craig's first two films?

If so, I think there is a good chance we will see Bond in Asia, for example Japan or Thailand.

[DamnCoffee]

I would like to see Bond return to Egypt in the future.

[NVT]

The local supermarket, with the recent rise in food prices, there could be enough action in a supermarket?

Or the M25 during rush hour, yeap.

The City of London, the square mile, wall street, Hong Kong, Tokyo stock exchange. Because remember it's all economics stupid.
Infiltrate a large hedge fund corp which is actually a front for an international financial industry based pirates....I am on to something...

[Captain Tightpants]

If Bond ever visits an open-cut mine, this baby needs to be in it:

It doesn't need to be used in a set-piece, just simply there for atmosphere. Its name is Bagger 288, an it's currently based in Germany (it won't be leaving any time soon as it's huge and incrediby slow to move). In fact, it's so big that it's even larger than the vehicle used to transport space shuttles at Cape Carnaveral. It can move 76,000 cubic metres of earth a day at a rate of ten metres per minute. It's so powerful that it has picked up a bulldozer and thrown it like a child's toy. More pictures - including the bulldozer accident - and information can be found here.

Yep I think Bond 23 will be Craig's Big Asian Adventure. Moore and Brosnan had done their Asian visit in their second films, and Dalton's third was all set for the far east too. I'm thinking Tokyo, or Seoul, perhaps if we want gritty locales mixed in too, the non-touristy section of inland China, though filming there would probably be problematic. Maybe work in a ski sequence in Northern Japan too (Again, Moore and Brosnan had ski scenes in their third film), and Craig can confront Dr. Shatterhand after that

Maybe. But the plot should determine the locations, not the other way around. They can't sit down an say "OK, we need to send Bond to Asia" because it might compromise the plot a little.

Having spent the last six months here, I wouldn't be against Bond visiting Ottawa. It's especially lovely during Winterlude; might be able to do something interesting with the Rideau Canal in a winter setting, given that it's essentially a river that gets turned into a skating rink:


-Parliament can be seen in the top left

and non-winter months:



I'll see if I can remember to take a few pictures during the Canada Day celebrations on Tuesday.

[DaveBond21]

Venice (always love seeing Venice in a Bond movie!)

Again? It has been a location 3 times already. Beautiful city though.

Hey, if you can't film in the real place, Aldershot (North Korea in DAD) and Swindon (Azerbaijan in TWINE) always come in handy!

[Joey Bond]

One thing that slightly pisses me off about the Bond films is that every time it's set in the far east, it's all martial-arts (Ninjas in YOLT, the martial arts school in TMWTGG, Wai Lin's solo in TND). Being from the far east there is so much more to our cultures than martial arts.

Having said that I'd love to see the Great Wall of China in a Bond film. After all he's been to the Eifel tower and the Pyramids, why not throw the Great Wall?

Also love to see him back in Thailand (nationality bias here)- It'll be funny to see Bond attempting to car-chase the baddie in downtown Bangkok with all the traffic and ends up using the Sky train and somehow end up in "Soi Cowboy"

[DaveBond21]

If Bond ever comes here to Australia, what about the amazing Pinnacles Desert in Western Australia. I visited it in 1998. It's an incredible place. This shot makes it look otherworldly.

With China appearing to be a superpower sometime in the future, that would be one location, again. Most likely the indochina area.
So will Russia.

Australia, India, Egypt, Russia.

What about this building?



It's the Australian Academy of Science in Canberra. The building is known as the Shine Dome.

It's almost 50 years old, but I think it has a cool retro-futuristic thing about it that could work pretty well for some exterior shots.







"The Shine Dome has received numerous awards, and is one of seven projects the Royal Australian Institute of Architects has nominated to the World Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture." (See this page.)

The interior is less impressive - just a lecture hall and some offices. But that's why we have the magic of movies: so the Eden project can become a diamond mine, and the Shine Dome can become a villain's lair or something else equally cool!

Thoughts? Opinions?

Maybe Australia and a return to Jamaica and India. But probably not Milton Keynes or Didsbury.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Been there. Very 60's.

Dijon, France

Well, I've visited this city, and even if it's rather nice it didn't scream "Bond" at me. Why would you like to see it in a Bond film?
