South American filming will reportedly take place in March


Chilean newspaper La Tercera reported today on location scoutings for QOS here in the country. For those who can't read Spanish, it states that Stillking Films, the Czech cpmpany that co-produced CR, is scouting locations in the Chilean region of Antofagasta in the Atacama desert. Shooting would start on March 23rd and would last "no more than ten days". Stillking are not allowed to disclose further details until authorised by EON.
It should be noted that the world's biggest open copper mine, Chuquicamata, is located in the region. http://latercera.cl/medio/articulo/0,0,325...1563665,00.html

They translate 'Quantum of Solace' as 'Una cuota de consuelo', interesting...

When talking about locations, they mention that Panama will be Bolivia in fact, but Peru and the chilean Atacama Dessert will star as themselves, so Bond would travel to Haiti, Bolivia, Peru and Chile (without counting Italy or Austria).

They also mention that the film had some footage shot in Madrid from this past August, which was denied by Sony Releasing Spain.

After googling for Antofagasta, I've discovered that the city looks like paradise on its beaches and mixes old and new architectures. Nice place to shoot in. Even though, they seem to be more interested on the desert around that zone.

So, March 23rd, Bond travels to Chile.

It hasn't been confirmed yet. But this Chilean newspaper translated it as "Una Cuota de Consuelo"

That's a nice title. Translating "Una Cuota de Consuelo" to Portuguese, it'll be like "Uma Cota De Consolo" or "Uma Parcela De Consolo", which means in english "Piece Of Confort", or something like it.

I'm organazing a Poll in the the brazilian James Bond Comunity, looking for some cool Portuguese Titles to be used as the translated title. I've already contacted Columbia Pictures and they gave me the green light to listing some titles then send to them. biggrin.gif

There may be some mild spoilers in the following:

I found that one on the imdb-Forum. Nevertheless, the guy posting it sounds halfway reliable, and it fits in with the news we got up to now:



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0830515/board/...mp;p=1#96845958


Hi everybody,

here follows a possible spoiler of the location of the finale of the movie. So stop reading if you don't want to know.

Until recently I was a PhD student at the European Southern Observatory in Chile (in case you don't know about it, visit: www.eso.org). They are operating one of the world's largest (astronomical) observatories, the "VLT" (Very Large Telescope), on the Paranal mountain close to the city of Antofagasta in the chilean Atacama desert. A few months ago ESO was asked whether the site could be used to film the final part of the movie there.

Now, I don't know about the current status, but shortly before I left the deal was that they use the building where all the scientific staff is living while on the mountain, the so-called "Residencia", as the villains hideout. This building will be blown up (in a computer animation) in the end, of course. I hope they still want to do it. :-) I don't know if they are using the telescopes for anything. One could think of lots of stuff of course.

If you want to see the place you can just google for "Paranal", visit the ESO homepage or go to Wikipedia (I recommend the german article about the observatory, it's much more detailed than the english one and with more pictures as well).



Have fun!

Very interesting news. Some great photos of the Paranal Residencia here. The interiors appear to be very reminiscent of the Eden Project, as used in DIE ANOTHER DAY.

Ahh this is quite cool, an article from the BBC in July 2006, describes the Residencia as "resembling a cross between a Bond villain's hide-out and a university hall of residence"!

Update from the poster on IMDB:
Just yesterday I was talking to an ESO staff member working on Paranal. He told me that they will be filming for a few days in March and that they have rebuilt parts of the building in their studios. So I think they will only take some shots of the landscape. Nothing new about the telescopes being involved or not. Quite possible that they will only use the building and the desert environment.

According to La Tercera, Craig will be arriving on the 24th. He will be staying in Antofagasta, where there will be a press conference but shooting will take place in Puerto Cobija, Estación Baquedano and Observatorio Paranal.
Antofagasta is not glamorous enough for a Bond movie. Some buildings in the centre of town speak of distant wealthy days when the mining industry was in the hands of the British (the toen includes the only true example of Victorian architecture outside the UK) but they are dillapidated. That's probably the reason why Panama doubled Bolivia. It's been assumed by the press at large that Chile will not double for another country but from what little is known of the script, Green is helping General Medrano back into power of some yet unnamed country. US movie policies apparently forbids from directly mentioning Latin American countries unflatteringly (suggesting corrupt military and attempts at coups).
