Is it happening now? Like scene location scouting and that sort of stuff?

I don't think they even have a finalized script yet.

From the sound of Peter Lamont's comments which CBn reported on here, it sounds like they are working on the script.

Not sure regarding the locations.

How long before November 2006 did they start scouting for locations for CR?

I'd imagine that as far as locations go, they already have ideas as to where BOND 22 will be set. As to actual scouting, I'd guess that the scouts will be out and about by May.

...or maybe some 'fact finding' missions to get initial layouts, if that. Nothing more, nothing less.

This bit on the CBn front page about Pinewood vs. Prague's Barrandov Studios has me a little concerned, though.

Since Bond 22 is a direct sequel to Casino Royale i would say that the producers already had location ideas in mind and probably did most of the scouting while filming Casino Royale. :cooltongue:

I would like to think that the PTS for Bond 22 will start where CR left off.

And if they were happy filming in Prague, and they certainly made a successful movie there, then they would be tempted to go back for the next installment.

Yes, so would I. Prague would be ok.

On that note, I hope the CR "sequel" has some bold "one off experimental" features that CR had, eg. black and white, bathroom gunbarrel, no Bond theme till the end, less refined Bond etc. I want Craig's tenture to stand out as the exciting and fresh series.

I think the idea of Bond 22 is that Bond has learned some things from his experiences in CR, but he is still rough around the edges.

Hope so. I wouldn't quite like to see Bond as the finished article just yet.

I think it'd be cool to see him start off polished ala that last scene in CR, then work his way back to raw jungle attire ala the Madagascar chase, let all that emotion he's buried about losing Vesper come out with a vengeance. Sort of the opposite of the journey he took in CR (and end it like Yolt the novel, he's lost his memory...).

I'd like to see some filming here in Canada - and actually have it set in Canada, and not just use Canadian cities as substitutes for expensive American cities. Now that Pinewood is building a massive studio lot here in Toronto, I may get to see OO7 here some day.

I'd love to see more Bond films set in great places like these, but when it comes down to it, I don't like the locations coming before the plot and script. Story should always come first in my book and I wouldn't want them to do what Octopussy did and just use (or abuse) so many traditional aspects of the location.

But if we're jumping on the bandwagon, I say I always appreciate a Bond film set in Europe, The Carribean or the ultramodern bits of Eastern Asia. I'd love to see one in Africa or Greece, but there are certain places where Bond just doesn't feel like Bond (Midwest America/Australian Outback/Scottish Highlands/Arabian Oilfields).

I would like to see him in Iran. Well, not the real Iran, but another location standing in for it.

M should send Bond to Corsica.

It's nice and sunny there, and there are mafia types for him to deal with.
