Bond is on a mountain when villans on snowmobiles find him. Bond is on skiis, so he goes down the cliff, skiing near vertically, while the villans have to go the long way down. Below the cliff they nearly catch up with him, shooting at him with submachineguns. They reach a village. Bond uses the rooftops, the railings on stairs and walls, staying on the outside. The men on snowmobiles can drive inside the houses since they aren't reliant on snow. Just below the village is a river. Bond uses a rooftop as a ski jump while the villans snowmobile on the water. On the other side of the river the ground starts sloping downhill again and everyone picks up speed. Villans have crashed earlier in the chase, but the remaining snowmobilers are still in hot persuit. Bond called up some allies as soon as he saw the villans aproashing back on the mountaintop and continued giving instructions while skiing down the cliff. Bond skiis off a new, vertical cliff. The closes persuers follow him off the edge, unable to stop in time. A large, two-engine helicopter has come to 007's aid. The heli's tailgate is positioned right off the edge of the cliff, just a few yards away and Bond skiis right into the cargo bay of the helicoptre. The heli flies off, the villans are dead at the bottom of the valley or standing at the edge of the cliff, fruitlessly shooting at the heli taking Bond off to safety.
Does anyone else want to see this ?
How about Lapland in Finland?
There would be excellent places to ski scenes
I've been to Lapland (Levi) a few years ago and had a fantastic holiday. However, because most mountains are only about 900 metres high you can't really have a real skiing scene because the runs are really short. One of the longest runs of Levi is this one http://youtu.be/swvQVDoVNTQ Now picture it at break neck speed. 40 seconds, tops )

Meanwhile in neighboring Norway on approximately the same longitude, skiers don't have the same problem ...
I just saw an episode of "The worlds most dangerous roads" by the BBC 2. I have to say some of those roads are even worse than the road I had to go by bus to school on for three years. I Remember once when I was a student I stoped the car to throw a stone or two off the road. When I returned at the end of the day that section of the road was gone due to avalache.
But on the program they also crossed Salar de Uyuni (The Salt Sea) in Bolivia. This would be a spectacular and very unusual location.
I want more interesting architecture on show in Bond movies, the way it was when Ken Adam made the sets. Here is a house that could be the Elrond house (DAF) for our age: The Doolitle House in Joshua Three near LA.
Of cource I agree about Norway I read on CmdBond a rumour that Bond 24 will be partly sett in Japan. It's just a rumouor, but I'm hoping for the garden of death.
I do like architecture and I would enjoy seing more interesting houses in a Bond movies. Remember how the inside of Dr No's house, mr. Whytes private house in DAF or even the dessert hotel in Qos added to the movie? more of that please!
I especially like this house. I imagine a scene where something dramatic happens, perhaps Bond sneaking/fighting his way to the villan/captured Bond girl at the top? The whole scene could be filmed from the outside, even in one take.
I'd like to see something set in the tropics, say Mayan Pyramids and underwater action in Belize. I like the idea of something set in Norway, but Sweden
does have a good villian's lair: http://www.theblogbelow.com/2008/07/musko-swedens-underground-nava.html
While I'd prefer a blonde for the Bond Girl, as long as she's not a throwaway like most of those in the Craig films, i'd probably be happy.
Norway has underground submarine bases too, including a couple of really huge left over from the Germans. I'm not against Sweden as location, their cities are more photogenic than Norway's.
On Top Gear recently the drove through Ukraine and it too has many old submarine bases
which still look impressive. Although it would be a very brave film unit to go there at the moment.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Number 24, thank you for those amazing pictures! They really have that 'Ken Adam feel' to them. I hope we can get back to a style like that in the next movie(s).

Has Olavsvern been sold yet?

It looks like the prefect timing for filming....
Thanks for the info about the Norwegain sub bases.
