At least it would seem Eon is now location scouting.
That's not location scouting.
I tell you:
;-)
A car chase set in the UAE has been on my Bond wish list for such a long time. I would love to see an Aston Martin speeding through the desert highways with a fleet of super and hyper cars in pursuit. Or a chase sequence set amongst the sand dunes featuring the Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6.
This HAS to become the first Formula One racing-set Bond film. Just look at the wonderful Yas Marina Circuit architecture:
The racing perceived in F&F in my opinion is too 'street', too dirty, too much from 'da block'. And yes, it's bad-ass street racing.
Fórmula One on the other hand is much classier, much more stylish. A world crowded with beautiful girls, expensive champaign and billionaires like Ecklestone. And let's not forget the novel "Trigger Mortis". Bond can distance itself from F&F with that. I actually believe that it could even hurt F&F, since people like to be more associated with class than vulgar street stuff.
No one listening unfortunately, Colonel.
Yep.
But it won't happen. Guys, be prepared for a November 2019 release. It's as simple as that :-). EON is happy with that. This is obviously the most radical way on how to keep Craig onboard. And I think it will work. Bond will return in an unprecedented way in 2019 with Craig as Bond :-). Mark my words. And now...let's enjoy Othello....and many other great movies coming up :-).
Then hope Mendes isn't directing. After the last overhyped car chase we got I can't get excited about such prospects, well at least if Mendes decides to plague us with his return.
Have you actually been to Dubai?
Have you ever been to the real Montenegro and its capital Podgorica? You'll then realize how much Montenegro in "Casino Royale" was idolized as the next Monte Carlo, Cannes or Royale-les-Eaux. Which obviously is bull-shit. Podgorica is a pretty poor city.
The real locations in Bond films are always slightly larger-than-life :-). And that's how it should be.
