    I've mentioned Stone Town in Zanzibar before, but I think this is the type of location Bond should thrive on. "Everyone" hasn't been there yet, and the place is stunning and exotic.





    Apparently the doors in Stone Town are a sight to be seen.

    Or is this "should've been past Bond locations"? I mean, how could the MR location managers miss Hotel Jested (apart from the fact that it was in communist Czechoslovakia)?

    The hotel would've been the perfect lair for Hugo Drax, don't you think?

    Here are the countries and regions I most want to see as Bond locations:

    - India. I'm sure the country has far more to offer than what we saw in OP, a movie that was made over forty years ago.

    - The Arctic or Antarctica. Finding places where very few has been is much harder now than in the 60's, but these places are still exotic to almost everyone.

    - Africa south of the Sahara. Rarely visited by people from the rest of the world and very under-used in movies. Exotic and exciting.

    - Georgia. Not the US state, but the small country in the Caucasus. Very beautiful and as far as I know unused in big movies.

    - A major city covered in snow. A city in one of the Nordic countries or Canada perhaps?

    - Norway. No surprise there. Especially the fjords on the west coast.

    India is the one that comes to my mind quite often too when this question is raised: proper modern India rather than the tourist version in OP. It's such an important country it's not hard to imagine espionage going down there.

    It's time for Bond to ski again and of course spend time in front of the fireplace with a beautiful woman in a luxurious cabin. this type of cabin would be perfect!

    I think it's time I promoted the region of Norway my mother's from - Vesterålen. It's not as well known as the neighbouring island archipelago Lofoten, but many think it's at least as photogenic. After so many scenes shot in Turkey and italy north is the way to go!





    The photo below was taken at night.

    Certainly looks beautiful…but do they give tax incentives for filming…? You know how much Eon loves a tax break 👀🤣

    Yes, Norway does. Until a few years ago the system seemed to be: "If you want to film in the county it's your own fault, why don't you call up Scottland or Iceland instead?" Now the incentives are better (but not as good as for example iceland) and Bond, Black Widow, Dune and Mission Impossible has filmed around here.

    Would love to see Bond back on the slopes or doing some climbing in Norway. It's such a beautifully picturesque country.

    "Any of the opposition around..?"

    Absolutely! Imagine a ski chase scene down a steep mountain to the fjord below - at night under the midnight sun!

    It's getting harder to find truly exotic locations, but I found one in Time magazine. Wishaway Camp is the only hotel in Antartica. It consists of five designer sleeping pods, a 5 star cuisine and it's own air strip. Perfect for Bond! It could be made even more luxurous and buildt as a set in Canada or some place, but the concept is perfect for a Bond movie.
