MI6 reports of Casino Royale production heading to Prague spread

Last month, in the April Report on "Casino Royale" (the 21st James Bond film), MI6 confirmed that production was heading outside of the UK. Shooting will not take place in 007's traditional home at Pinewood, instead switching to Prague in the Czech Republic.

One month on from the MI6 report, various 007 fansites are now echoing the news that director Martin Campbell, whose debut 007 outing "GoldenEye" was shot at an abandoned Rolls Royce factory at Leavesdon Aerodrome because of lack of availability at Pinewood, will now be heading to Prague to helm his second Bond film.


007 production will be moving to Prague for "Casino Royale".

The last Bond film to head abroad for production was Timothy Dalton's final outing, "Licence To Kill" in 1989, which shot in Churubusco Studios in Mexico City for tax reasons.

Stay tuned to MI6 for cutting edge news coverage of "Casino Royale" - due for release in November 2006.

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
