New Bond Flick - Quantum of Solace - Sneak peak
The new Bond movie Quantum of Solace is officially half way through filming, and is due to hit theatres in November.
Bond is well and truly on location, after the initial shoot at Pinewood Studios in London, 007 has been clocking up some air miles with shoots in Panama, Mexico, and now Chile.
And barrelling past the half-way point feels good for 007 Daniel Craig.
“We’re making a movie very different from Casino Royale, that was what we set out to do,” says Craig.
“But without losing all the important Bond things. It is a James Bond movie after all,” he adds.
Quantum of Solace is the first bone fide Bond sequel, where we pick up from where we left him, gun in hand, claiming his license to kill and making Bond his own.
The crew now calls the barren Atacama Desert in Chile home.
And for director Marc Forster this location was the perfect place for 007.
“The locations here in Chile are really really special. The landscapes and what they give to the character of Bond is really good. In a sense, the desert is a reflection of Bond itself, it brings along a certain loneliness which reflect who Bond is at this point,” Forster.
The location has not been without its controversy.
A local mayor was arrested last week after storming onto the set objecting to Chile footage depicting neighbouring Bolivia in the movie.
The film-makers and Bond fans will be hoping Quantum delivers.
Casino Royale is a big act to follow, raking in more than 750 million worldwide, and eclipsing Die Another Day to become the biggest grossing Bond film in history.
