Campania region in Italy may also feature in Bond 24

In a brief update to the news yesterday that EON Productions had opened a production office in Rome ahead of filming in the Italian capital early next year for Bond 24, local reports have some additional information on 007's jaunt.

According the reports, BOnd 24 will also film in the Campania region, which is south of Rome and home to Naples.

MI6 understands that Rome will be used for a car chase sequence.

Although it will be the first time James Bond has visited Rome on screen, Daniel Craig's era of 007 is no stranger to Italy. Venice was a major location in 'Casino Royale', and Lake Como was also in Craig's debut and the follow up 'Quantum of Solace'. The 2008 film also used Siena and Lake Garda as locations in the pre-title sequence.
