When you think about the James Bond films you may think of an English secret agent who can handle anything thrown his way without a single rumple on his suit, or the more rough version played by Daniel Craig. You can actually think fast autos and glamorous girls; and you will also most likely think about those fabulously exotic places that 007 gets to visit, all on the pay of MI6.
Nevertheless it seems not all is not right for the next James Bond film. Just when it looked like the producers of the James Bond films had settled on shooting scenes in India for Bond 23 unofficial news came that they were instead switching production to S. A..
The rationale cited was that authorization to film in numerous locations, including an action sequence concerning moving trains which would have required sections of track owned by Indian Railways, were too slow in being granted.
South Africa had been held in reserve in case things didn't work out and earlier in the month it seemed like the shoot in India would go ahead. Nonetheless the source of this info is the local representative of EON Productions in India, so confirmation has not come from the horse's mouth.
Filming authorization has reportedly been granted in Istanbul in Turkey and it is understood that a small team from the production have visited Istanbul to scout the shooting locations.
Except for that, little is understood about Bond 23; Daniel Craig is ready to reprise the task for the third time; Sam Mendes is on board as director; the script has been authored by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan; filming will start in Nov 2011; and the film will be premiered in London on 26th October 2012.
Though Judi Dench has announced that she is going to return, there's been no official word; and Jeffrey Wright who played Felix Leiter in Daniel Craig's first two films has said he has not been approached about Bond 23. And while Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes have been rumored to be involved there's been no confirmation; neither has there been any word of the Bond girl.
