Sam Mendes'
Skyfall featured many international locations. Some scenes were shot in Macau, Turkey, and China. For his next
Bond film, Mendes and his production crew are headed to
Rome, Italy. According to the Italian news agency
ANSA,
Bond 24 will require "three key action scenes" to be filmed in Rome. Details are below.
Several night-time high-speed car chases are planned through the historical center’s narrow, winding streets, as well as on main thoroughfare Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, with one car ending up in the Tibur river, it reported.
Another high-speed car chase will reportedly result in an iconic Fiat 500 getting crushed in Borgo Vittorio, near the Vatican. And perhaps most memorably, Bond will parachute from a helicopter onto Ponte Sisto, a 15th century pedestrian bridge that connects Trastevere to the center, ANSA said.
There will also be scenes filmed at the
Royal Palace of Caserta ("Versailles of Italy") in Campania, Italy. Filming in Italy will begin on
Feb. 19 and end on
March 12.
A source for
The Hollywood Reporter claims "
key filming" will also take place in
Morocco.
BOND 24 will be directed by Sam Mendes ("Skyfall"), from a screenplay written by John Logan. The cast will include: Daniel Craig as James Bond (007), Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Miss Moneypenny, and Ben Whishaw as Q. The film will be released in the UK and US on October 23, 2015 and November 6, 2015, respectively.
