Pravesh Sahni of India
Take One Productions, which would look after any
Indian leg of the Bond 23shoot, told The
Times of India, "This could be one of the biggest
Hollywood movies shot in our country."
"Trains are the
backbone of the film. We'll pay for the shooting and
also mention Indian Railways in the credit line."
"The
shooting was supposed to happen in October-November.
Now, we've postponed it to January-February. For the
past three months, we've been trying to get things
in order. The film has Daniel Craig doing stunts on a freight
train."
"While the Indian Railways has given us
permission to shoot, I need to meet someone and explain
how important
it is for us to block two tracks for eight hours a day
over five to six days. For the past 15 days, I've been
trying to get someone to hear me out."
"South African authorities
are waiting to provide everything that is required to
support this movie. If we can't get this cooperation
from India, the film will no longer be shot here." |
