With the announcement of Mexico City as a filming locale, I thought it prudent to begin a Mexico thread.

 

I am intrigued by this one too. I loved LTK's setting, which was filmed in Mexico. How does everything think Mexico will figure into SPECTRE's plot? Will it involve drugs? Will it double as another place?

I hope it isn't drugs.  The Bond movie is above that.

Then again, drugs are the biggest money maker for criminals - and SPECTRE definitely would finance themselves with that.

They certainly have in the past.

Certainly a beautiful location to film. It's a definitely still a hotbed currently with the protesters and those missing students.

It's so far afield from the other settings, perhaps it will be the PTS, and semi-detached from the rest of the plot, in the way that Madagascar was detached from the main plot in CR. Perhaps Bond is wrapping up another mission, and something goes terribly wrong, leading to a big action set-piece in which we are introduced to Dave Bautista's character.

It's odd really. As we know so little about it, it feels like it must be a short part of the film - so either the pre-title sequence or the conclusion... But we could be completely wrong.

Let's hope for more soon.

I just hope it doesn't have a sequence in the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco as that is an area I already have penciled in for my next novel.

I think this means that in the next few days we should know when the extras are needed for filming.

There seems to be talk that the filming is in March. Probably late March, with filming in Rome until the 12th.

Perhaps the mods can merge the two together.

I believe it's closer to the beginning, if not the PTS

Isn't it already "confirmed" to be the PTS? With the rumour of Penelope playing a tiny role IIRC.

This one, I think, basically gives away what they are filming in Mexico City. 

Well, at least it gives a big clue as to what will be a large part of it.

That's what I was thinking too.

Yes, now seems extremely likely they'll head straight to Mexico after Rome.

Unlike Austria, I think we'll get a decent amount of photos from the press and public, as will be tougher to keep the city centre locations as locked down.

Thanks Marketto, never seen a casting list like that for extras. Very interesting insight into what the background to the scenes will be.
