How about the Alps? They could bring in some skiing which is always cool in a Bond movie.

The Alps are always a great location but i don't know about skiing. How about mountain climbing instead? When did we last see mountain climbing in a Bond film?

I think 1987 in The Pre Titles of The Living Daylights if that doesn't count then i thiml in 1981 in For Your Eyes Only. If i'm missing something more recent i can't think of it.

Climbing is a good idea. Daniel Craig is in the right shape for that. Maybe good for the PTS with some flashbacks (the accident of his parents)...

Mountain climbing. Yeah, just like Tomkat in MI2. That'll be the ticket.

On the other hand, climbing can be pretty cool.

I just saw an article somewhere on future mil tech. There is a kind of glider, shaped like a bullet, that paratroops slip over their gear. It allows them to glide up to 40 miles before they have to deploy the chute. That might be cool. For location? Have him do it in the mountains, soaring among the peaks.

I love the idea of Mountain Climbing, Craig has got the right physique for it . Speaking of Mountain Climbing, an early draft for TND involved Bond scaling a mountain in the Pre titles sequence.

I actually was considering the idea of using a mountainous area for BOND 22 and having Bond perhaps chase someone down a steep hillside on foot. I guess the idea of a footchase may not be favourable to the producers so soon after the parkour chase in CASINO ROYALE though.

Speaking as a Canadian, I'd love to see Canada used in a Bond film. There are a lot of opportunities here - and we have mountains, too!!
I'd like to see New York City used as well. It was such a big part of Fleming's novels, and when he used it he almost made it a character itself.

I would expect '007 in New York' to be used as a Pretitle sequence in a future Bond movie

Mountain climbing in the Alps would be cool, and as others have said, Daniel Craig certainly has the physique for it.


Maybe he can watch helplessly as a fellow 00 plummets to earth, reminding him of his parents' deaths?

Yeah, like the Kirk/Spock scene in that Star Trek movie....Bond, 2000 feet up on the side of a shear wall face, and Felix could zip up next to him in a modernized jetpack, and... Oh, that's right, we're not doing the gadget thang for a while...
Seriously though, you're right, it is the right time for a mountain climbing scene as he is in the right shape, but I think the parent thang would be a little o-t-t. As fans, we know his history.

We could have Felix echoing Trevelyan's comment along the lines of....


"And, James, while your parents were killed in a climbing accident, mine had the indignity of both being sliced up in accidents involving runaway lawn mowers...."

Oh I'm not sure about that. Where Bond movies are concerned, you rarely hear the powers-that-be consider something too expensive. I think the Azores would be a very interesting location to use, possibly along with the Cape Verde Islands.
