I haven't seen this posted anywhere else but this story from the Italian state news agency ANSA suggests that further locations have been scouted in the Basilicata region of southern Italy for use in BOND 22. These include the town of Craco in the province of Matera, the viaducts of the Montecotugno di Senise dam, and the road around San Biagio and Maratea in the province of Potenza. It seems as though the news came from the regional Lucania Film Festival in Pisticci. More photos of the area can be found at this page. |

Just to add to that, found this photo of the town of Craco. To add some speculation about what this location could be used for, I'm getting quite a North African vibe to this place, so perhaps Algeria? The town was also used for filming THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST.

I really don't think they can go wrong with Italian locations. It really is a gorgeous country, and as far as 'Bond' is concerned, underused. Outside Venice, of course.

Bond hunting down the Algerian perhaps. Good to see some old, traditional locales.

I can see some jumping from a rooftop to a rooftop and running in a narrow alleys in my near bondian future.
Great location by the way
 Brosnan was a good Bond Todays winners are tomorrows losers On contrary what everyone believes, my username wasn't inspired by the current Bond, but by Roger Moore's Bond, that I used to call Blonde Bond, when I was a lad. (I even drew some comics, starring the Blonde Roger Moore from Moonraker, no doubt) |

Indeed. I hope they go for some night ops infiltration.
Nice signature by the way. |

Ah, the benefits of speaking foreign languages...
I had heard that Italian websites reported this a few days ago, but couldn't find sources in a language that I understand and was thus unable to make a proper story out of it. Nice to see that your translations matches very good with what I thought that it means. Thanks for sheding some light on this.  ~Mr. Stromberg is a very busy man.

Who else is hoping we see Daniel running around the desert wearing a turban like Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights? I was disappointed we never got to see Brosnan like that, excluding the pre-credits from Everything or Nothing. Would be very cool to see Daniel undercover.
 Check out my Bond posters at my website RNK Fan Art and check out my posts at Universal Exports where I go by the name Agent-007. |

Is that a recent picture of Craig in Italy with the camera? If so, look at his outfit...perhaps he was being filmed for some scenes. He appears to be dressed as Bond in that image.

Looks as if BOND 22 will be set largely in Italy then

Cool news, looks like Bond is bringing the battle to the enemies front door.
A weapon doesn't feel, it doesn't think, it only executes. If it fails in this one simple job the weapon is deemed EXPENDABLE UNPREDICTABLE DANGEROUS... I'LL SHOW THEM DANGEROUS |
