I have no idea what the plot would be, but Bond coming to the Kimberley in Western Australia would make for stunning landscapes.

If it s going to be Shatterhand:

 

Australia for the PTS ( especially north near Darwin ): A PTS nearly all underwater.

 

Singapore

 

Japan- for specific reasons

I'd like to see a significant portion of a Bond film take place in Central/Southern Africa.

I would like that as well. Definitely want to see Australia used in a Bond film soon. Same with Seoul, South Korea and Nice, France.

Speaking of Australia, entertainment reporter for our Today Show posed the question to Sam Mendes on the world premier red carpet, and I detected a sly glint in his eye. Check it out at around the 5:15 minute mark.....

I'd like to see Craig spend some more time in Spain/France/Germany etc. Bond can speak French and German fluently after all!

Australia is a must IMO.

 

But Japan, Korea, USA, so many that have so much potential.

Bond usually doesn't visit former colonies of the Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, etc.)

 

I'd like to see him revisit Las Vegas since it's changed so much in the 45 years since DAF (looking at you, Spectreville!)  Also, Dubai.  The villain's gotta have a lair in the shape of a palm tree island!

That was interesting. Of course I'd love them to come here to Sydney.

Part of the trouble with James Bond films 1960's versus 2010's is that the movie going public of today travels quite a bit more than when the movies first came out.  In the 60's, the movies were gateways to world travel.  Today, people have traveled more and a lot of movies and television bring locale shooting to the viewer.

 

Having said that, there are a number of cities and countries that Bond has not been to.  I'm particularly amazed that we don't see more Commonwealth countries like Canada and Australia.  As an old colony (and somewhere I had lived in my young adulthood), I think Singapore would be a fantastic location, especially if the direction of the series were to take the "Shatterhand" approach.  Considering Blofeld and SPECTRE spent a lot of time in Europe (and Morocco) in SPECTRE, it would make sense to resurface in another part of the world such as Asia and the Pacific regions.  Not sure how Canada could fit into that!

I'd rather they specifically come to my neck of the woods in Sydney.  :P

 

But alas, there's not much around Toongabbie worthy of a Bond movie.  :wacko:

New Zealand would be a great location for a Bond movie-it's not full of hobbits, honest! Skiing in the Alps, rocketing down highways, rural retreats, beautiful harbours...lots of action sports opportunities. Never been done before, so go on Barb and Mike, take a calculated risk!
