Location rumour - Liverpool (UK) and South Africa both named as being scouted by Bond producers

02-Jul-2003 • Casino Royale

The first credible location rumour for Bond 21 has come to light today.

A highly reliable tipster during "Bond 20" production (which would later be known as "Die Another Day") has mentioned on the AJB forums that Liverpool (UK) and South Africa are locations being scouted by the Bond 21 pre-production team.

Bond has not visited many recognisable UK locations outside of the London area in the series so far, perhaps because MI6 operations are ring-fenced to foreign activites. There are no immediately obvious reasons as to why this location is of interest to Bond producers.

"Diamonds Are Forever" is the only film so far to feature South Africa, in a brief sequence regarding diamond mining and smuggling at the start of the film.
