Quantum Of Solace

November 14, 2008 at 8:05 AM | 0 Comments

Our favorite sexy British spy returns to the big screen today, and we can't wait to see him again. "Quantum of Solace" brings back Daniel Craig as 007 and Judi Dench as "M," picking up where "Casino Royale" left off, right after James lost Vesper. Having captured Mr. White, Bond and "M" discover (of course) that the enemy organization they're dealing with is far more dangerous and complex than they'd originally thought.

Evidence links a traitor in MI6 to a mysterious bank account in Haiti where Bond meets the stunning Camille. She has her own agenda but leads him to villain Dominic Greene, a "ruthless businessman" who is about to make a deal to take control of the water supply in Bolivia. All in a day's work for Bond...

This adventure actually takes place all over, from Austria to Italy to Panama, but we invite you to read on for some great things to check out in one of its key filming locations: Chile.

Be James Bond: Bodyflight Vertigo Opening Soon

August 13, 2008 at 9:00 AM | 0 Comments

Slip the name James Bond into anything touristy and we will be there like a shot. It's embarrassing but true, and the latest Bond-related place of interest is the Bodyflight indoor skydiving facility in Bedford, England.

Two things: First up, some of the scenes from the "Quantum of Solace" Bond movie were filmed here so you, too, can fly in the same wind tunnel that Daniel Craig did.

And second: you can go one step further than Craig, because they're about to open a new ride called Bodyflight Vertigo. It's a 120-foot jump, the tallest in Britain, and you're free-falling for two thirds of the way. This pleasure (or terror) will only cost you £30 (US$57) or you can combine it with a trip through the wind tunnel for some simulated skydiving. The fun kicks off in September, two months before the new Bond movie hits theaters.

Spy Travel: Bond 22 Filming Wastes a Perfectly Good Car

April 23, 2008 at 9:00 AM | 0 Comments

If an Aston Martin goes soaring over a cliff and plunges into a lake, one would naturally expect James Bond to bubble up, his tux, miraculously dry and toting a Nalgene of martinis. Sadly, that's not what happened when a stunt man had a mishap with the new, one-of-a-kind Bond car in northern Italy.

The driver is in stable condition after the Aston Martin slid off the road and into Lake Garda, falling 180 feet in the process.

The car is irreplaceable, just like Daniel Craig, but we're willing to lend Bond our 1992 Land Cruiser as long as he returns it with the tank full. Those cars never really blow up, right? The production has already shot in Spain, Mexico, Panama and Chile.
