Yea bud its just that I don't sit here and refresh the page 24/7 as I'd like. On it now, though.
I am sorry just I am quite excited your doing a fantastic job though
According to some other sources, BOND 24 may be filmed in the classic Cinecittà Studios.
Luciano Sovena , President of Roma Lazio Film Commission, told the italian press that a "spectacular car chase will be filmed in Via Quattro Fontane in Rome"
That's the next bit of news I'm really eager to hear about. I can't wait to see who it is.
The original paper everyone is quoting seems to be by journalist Gloria Satta :
http://trovafilm.ilmessaggero.it/news/roma-007-devil-may-care/809114.shtml
In it, it is said clearly that the new - and I mean : very new - President of the Film Commission, Luciano Sovena, wants EON to film in Roma, and that he has met them, which is at least something a bit more relevant than the usual stuff
Remember Versailles also offered EON to shoot a spectacular chase in the Castle of Versailles a few years ago - for free ! - and the head of Versailles did some interviews in the press about it. Yes, it was a spectacular chase too... Mind you, what else could they propose, a spectacular explosion ? :)
In the paper, it is said that nothing is certain, and in particular the legal stuff in order to shoot is not done at all, and Sovena even says he hopes the administration will not stop everything.
The same for Cinecitta studios : he wants them to come in these studios, but it's not a deal done.
Also, "Devil May Care" is also said to be a rumored title in the paper, which echoes other rumors, but do not pass them as fact.
So, well, we've got a newly elected president (for about a week), who is making spectacular announcements... Time will tell.
As for the rumored locations, they don't really excite me. Morocco has been done to death in the spy genre and Italy should not appear in a Bond film for at least another decade since it was so heavily featured in both CR and QOS.
I have to agree. Not particularly excited about the locations either. Italy really should have been off the table as a location given its extensive use already in the Craig films.
Although I suppose it won't end up mattering all that much anyway, as they'll probably film a good number of the scenes from these locations on the back lot of the studio as they did with Skyfall.
I'm still praying for Mendes to pick Hoyte van Hoytema. His cinematography is perfect for Bond.
On the money.
I'm going back to rooting firmly for a decent Scandinavian shoot, which would be awesome and different. And I hope not just a 2 minute glimpse as Bond shoots in and out or something too minor.
Yes, Rome is just Rome. And, good point, @marketto007, perhaps the Italians knew something after all... ;)
But Rome has (unbelievably) never been used and it's totally different from Sienna and Venice. It opens a lot of opportunities.
That's what I thought when I saw the comment as well, I couldn't wait to share it here!
There are a few interesting photos on his instagram page, some have obviously nothing to do with Bond, others may or may not have. There's a very funny one of cows but if you look closely (not at the cows), you'll see a nice, curvy, country road.
I don't want Africa or middle eastern countries to feature. I do want some different locations that are gorgeous. The Caribbean, or at least exotic islands, have been done so much, too, it seems.
Just thinking of Australia ... I'm rather surprised Bond did not go there during the huge Aussie craze that hit the world (well, especially the U.S.) with Crocodile Dundee.
Good point. And Austria could easily double for Scandianavia - Sweden or Norway that is - if they are going for a ski chase, much like France doubled for Azerbaijan in TWINE.
About Rome: Don't know what to think. Dan Brown's 'Inferno' is also coming out late 2015. Most of the movie takes place in Florence and Venice, so maybe a tad much Italy for me.
As for the rumour that Devil May Care may be the title; I like it. I always loved that title, the film can appropriate the title and not use any story elements. Faulks would not even need to be credited, maybe just a little notes in the 'thanks' section of the credits.
EON have already been in Morocco and Austria. Some panorama shots of the Austrian alps with some action thrown in isn't too bad. Marrakech would also be good. But still... I think they should be more creative than that. There are so many corners of the globe Bond has never visited, but EON keep on exploring basically the same old "tried and tested" places they've already been to. If the rumours are true, it's a little dissapointing I think...
More than anything I'd like to know what is actually planned to be shot there.
Wouldn't mind seeing Bond return to the US at some point soon. And of course Australia. That's a must. ;)
An Italian Job for 007?
