What locations do you like to see in Bond 22 or maybe a future Bond-movies?
My wishlist contains...

Dubai
Niagara Falls
Oresund Bridge (Could see a highspeed car chase along this great bridge
Australia (Sometime Bond must go there...)

[Satorious]

Dubai - good call!

I reckon The Rockies/Vancouver and New Zealand (eg. something bizzare like the Waitomo caves with the glow worms) could be interesting locales. Also would be nice to have another Eastern European locale - eg. Budapest.

But I must confess, I'd rather they did justice to just one or two locales (eg. You Only Live Twice and Japan) than zipping through hundreds of locations quickly, but not really devoting any time to their culture. This is the one thing that I think has been lacking in some of the more recent Bond adventures.

Oh God, not Dubai. It's been mentioned loads of times and Gala and I can both assure you that Dubai is cheap and tacky looking.

My vote is for South America, sorely underused in Bond.

[Mr Twilight]

Dubai - Cheap!?! Well I havent been there so I don't know but cheap isn't the first word that comes in mind.
Niagara Falls invites (In my mind) to some very dramatic scenes....and has some Fleming-ish relations. I was thinking of some lines from his notebook.

Yes. That's what most people think who haven't been there. It has its good points but is really not a classy place.

[DaveBond21]

Northern England.

He has never been to the Lake District, Northumberland or Yorkshire. All beautiful places and Bond can drive to them in 4-5 hours.

Surely it's time....

[ke02eww]

Edinburgh, it's about time!

- they could blow up the Scottish Parliament Building for goodness sake!!!!!

mmm.....that would p*** off Sir Sean....

I like it...

[sharpshooter]

Perth, Australia. I could spy on the filming on my doorstep.

Australia would be a good choice, be it Sydney or the outback. Craig had an interest in the possibility at the Sydney Casino Royale premiere.

Would be a first for the series and interesting to how they pull it off.

Dubai - Only been there 10 times....

Stayed at the Jumeira Beach...

then of course there's the Birge Al Arab....

yeah...cheap....

Sth America:

how about Bonders of the lost AR7 ?....

Bond dons a hat and tries to find his lost AR7 rifle, which the Nazi's stole hoping it would give them the power of the Inca's...

However, they could never get the top off so still think it's just "old stock"....

Hey, Sir Sean could play DC's dad....

yeah, love it...

let's do Mexico dear....ok Joe

In case you should know it's the Burj Al Arab. And by cheap, I don't mean the cost to the consumer. The Burj is hideous inside.

Mexico? It's hardly South America, is it. There is so much in SA that could be used for Bond. The other thing is that I think it is politically appropriate at the moment, thanks to dear old Hugo Chavez. It has its problems but is not as sensitive as the Middle East.

How about the Azores? And Lisbon or Porto.

This is the city of Ponta Delgada at night

And another Azorean sight

Lovely. For some reason I've always wanted to get to the Azores.

You really should come to the Azores santajosep. Lisbon is a cool city and it really should feature in a Bond movie at some point.
At S. Miguel island in the azores they

I've been wanting Australia for a while now. I still can't believe that after 21 movies and 45 years that Bond still has missed that entire corner of the world.

As for someone's suggestion of Vancouver, I don't really know. A lot of films are made up here cause it's cheap, but on the other hand, there's a few locales that would be cool to see Bond at, especially since I would have been somewhere where Bond was. But I doubt they'll use Vancouver anytime in the near future.

Also, I've had an idea, that might seem kinda old fashioned, but it's an idea. Why not have the entire film in Europe? Give it that old European feeling, having Bond go up and down the continent from Italy (where CR left off) to Estonia to the UK and everywhere in between.

Indeed. Dubai, from the photos posted, looks fairly tacky. They're trying too hard to be fashionable, it seems. It also looks like they have a bit of an inferiority complex (I once read that they wanted to build the biggest mall on Earth there).

Yes, thats a nice idea. Btw another unused locations is North europe and Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland). Not counting Iceland (DAD).

.....

Maybe after the shock of George Lazenby, EON is scared to go to Australia. I heard that Cubby used to have nightmares that George was still James Bond.

[Kronsteen]

In Casino Royale Bond visited at lot of mixed locations. Old-town Europe (Montenegro), elegant Europe (Venezia) and exotic Bahamas. So in order not to repeat themselves I would go for either Asia, Australia or Africa. Africa might be a good call because of the Algerian connection from CR, but on the other hand I'd really like to see Daniel Craig in an Asian city. Don't know why, he just seems to fit in there.

[Vauxhall]

Although the idea of Dubai itself has been panned by those CBn members who have lived there, I'd like to suggest maybe a few scenes shot in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula? That could be very cool, and also scenic.

There are some excellent places in the Middle East! For Bond, my favourites would be Yemen, Lebanon (Beirut particularly) and Jordan.

Oresund Bridge (Could see a highspeed car chase along this great bridge

Wow! I vote for this one!

[Loomis]

Israel.

[dinovelvet]

Even though its been done before, I'd like to see another Japan Bond adventure, especially if they decide to "borrow" some of The Man with the red tattoo's locations and scenes.

Looks a pretty attractive location, but how big is it? Could it accommodate a large movie crew do you think?

[RedKelly]

I want to see Bond in either Italy or Greece, maybe its because I'm Greek Italian.

Here I am at Merderka Square in Kuala Lumpur. How about this as a Bond 22 location?

That looks like it would make for a great location for a Bond movie.
