Raymond Benson put him there (for a relatively short segment) in his first Bond book, one of Horak's comics made great use of Australia's outback. Australia would have so much to offer, and you may not even need Sydney! There's the nature, there's sharks (!), there's the advantage of it being an English-speaking country.
I would love using Australia. It's quite strange it has never been done.
Otherwise, I know it may seem silly at this point because of CR, but Bond should go to Montenegro for real. I had my honeymoon there last year and damn that county is beautiful! Perhaps there can be something stirring in the Balkans. Remnants of the war is is still very apparent making it quite interesting and there's lots of good lesser know places to explore!
Bay of Kotor - craggy mountains, pristine water, and tight windy roads with lots of mixed traffic along the coast (Prčanj/Muo)
Sveti Stefan - unique peninsula on the sun kissed Adriatic (various celebs have been there to vacation)
Ostrog Monastery - monastery built into the face of a cliff
Tunnels of Piva Lake - amazingly beautiful drive with short tunnels that overlook the lake and mountainside
Tara River Canyon - hard to access, but super scenic rapids buried in Europe's deepest canyon.
If it would be more of a Balkans region, then some other places could include:
Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina - bombed out buildings and a fairytale setting all in one. Seriously gorgeous and a uniquely interesting place that is screaming to being discovered!
Dubrovnik, Croatia - Famous scenic coastal town that's been filmed in and has an infinity amount of stairs.
Korčula, Croatia (or similar island town) - Can't go wrong with island towns on the Mediterranean/Adriatic, right???
Belgrade, Serbia It's got a good flavor of its own. Definitely got the eastern Europe vibe.
Windy dirt roads of Bosnia & Herzegovina - active land mines, washed out narrow dirt roads, shear cliffs on either side, and various traffic from cattle to semis - perfect for a chase right? (ie. M20 between Gacko and Foča)
Lastly, I'll give a nod to Tallin, Estonia for its Old Town. It's got a growing tech sector and could be good for a short visit with some unique architecture.
QoS had a good idea in going to South America. Now they just need a story to match the locations.
Also, The Seychelles (very Flemingesque).
Pretty sure it would've doubled for Russia! But if Bond actually comes to Canada, he could take on the Quebec maple syrup mafia.
When did he last visit Japan?
Yes, it would be expensive and give challenges of logistics, but it would bring some of the sense of escapism back!
Exactly!!!!! this is what am talking about....Sheer, undiluted escapism!
Very cool graph, but not quite updated.
Yes, it's not quite up to date. With the release of NTTD (if not sooner), I expect this graph will be edited.
Absolutely!
Maybe some filming there, but can’t begin to explain the issues that would be raised by a UK Government agent operating in Ireland - north or south.
Here's a genuine location suggestion -- and it comes from The Source: Fleming. The location ? The Seychelles Islands. Not for the whole film or even a long stretch, but for some. It's a unique place, and a uniquely beautiful and sexy one. It had a reputation as a place where agents of both sides in the Cold War would be present, knew who was who, but did not engage in "wet work" on each other.
