Bond 23, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, met with Ertugrul Günay, Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister, on Tuesday to confirm plans to film the next movie on the Bond franchise on November:
The opening scenes are planned to be filmed in Istanbul, but some other places will also be used outside Istanbul for the film, Günay revealed.
