Bond 23 Pre-Title sequence location confirmed!!

It's been confirmed!

Quote :

Bond 23 will shoot the opening scenes of the adventure in Istanbul, Turkey. Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli met with Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister Ertugrul Günay to firm up plans for the production. Here's what Ertugrul Günay had to say about Bond 23 coming to Istanbul.

"The opening scenes are planned to be filmed in Istanbul, but some other places will also be used outside Istanbul for the film. Such is the appeal of the series that many of the locations where Bond films have been filmed in the past have continued to attract Bond fans to visit many years down the line. The fact that the opening scene of the film will be made in Turkey will contribute to Turkish tourism. The ministry has been providing big support to the film sector for five years. We have made a concerted effort in the past five years to support the film sector and our aim continues to be to welcome international film crews to our country for filming."

Bond 23 will shoot in the Sultanahmet Square area of Istanbul, although the production is also looking to shoot in the coastal town of Bosporus.

"There are, however, a number of locations, including the waterside and shores of the Bosporus, in consideration for the 15 minutes of the movie opening sequence that is to be filmed in Turkey."

"James Bond is no stranger to Istanbul, and as the series marks its 50th anniversary next year, it is fitting that 007 would return to one of the most loved locations in the history of the franchise," Wilson added, "it really just feels like we are coming home."

I don't care where they film this bloody movie at as long as we have the trademark gunbarrel sequence!!

Otherwise I will burn the movie theater down!!

So, um, another 15 minute pre titles sequence..? Isn't that what they said about Quantum of Solace's?

Still, rumour or not, gives us plenty to speculate over and adds to our anticipation. :)
