'Mayor' protests on Chile 007 set - 2nd April 2008

'Mayor' protests on Chile 007 set

Published: 2nd April 2008 by: SiCo
 

A local politician has been arrested after driving onto the Chilean set of the latest Bond film Quantum of Solace to protest against the filming.

Carlos Lopez briefly interrupted the shooting in the town of Baquedano, 995 miles north of Chile capital Santiago.

According to local media, he objected to its producers using his community to film scenes ostensibly set in Bolivia.

He pulled up in his saloon car between the camera and a vehicle in which Bond actor Daniel Craig and co-star Olga Kurylenko were seated.

Mr Lopez was immediately arrested for trespassing and detained briefly before being released.

It is understood he will appear in court later on Wednesday.

Mr Lopez had previously pledged to disrupt the filming, claiming the Bond producers had failed to obtain his permission to shoot in the municipality of Sierra Gorda.

Ms Bennett called the allegation "totally incorrect". She also denied reports that the Bond producers had previously offered Mr Lopez compensation.
