Bond fans will also recall that St Marks Square featured as part of the speed boat chase in the 1979 Bond movie Moonraker with Roger Moore. Ross Forbes submits a slightly closer updated shot, taken whilst on holiday in Venice a few years ago. Daniel Craig remains oblivious to this development whilst piloting the boat along The Grand Canal in Venice. The pair enjoy the watery sights of the Grand Canal in Venice (the San Silvestro ferry terminal is just behind the boat), Vesper spots an unwelcome character in the form of Gettler. It seems their love for each other has now really been sealed in front of Villa Balbianello, Lake Como, Lombardia, Italy. Seems that someone had the ivy removed from the building on the right. Because of differences in color space, we were worried about combining Genesis material and 35mm in the same shot." Then, at the field in Britain, I had the art department put up additional towers, and we bought about 30 of the same kind of floodlights they had at Prague and I used HMIs again to fill in the gaps. "I figured if I was going to add light to what they produced, the best thing to do was use HMIs. "At the airport in Prague, all the floodlights are daylight blue with a slight tinge of green," says Méheux. The main unit shot the primary action at Prague’s airport and at an airfield in Surrey, England. He would discuss key information about film stocks, lenses, filtration, and printer lights with all the cinematographers, and then they would take off with their crews. Of course, this is still a Bond film, so once the character is introduced and the new style established, Casino Royale does offer its share of big stunt and effects work. Sebastien Foucan (Mollaka) runs through a construction site supposedly in Madagascar, but it was actually shot in the Coral Harbour beach area in New Providence Island in The Bahamas. Malcolm Sinclair (Dryden) gets out of his car outside Danube House, Karlín, Prague and, as it will turn out, is not quite in control of every situation as he thinks he is. As the scene caption states this is Prague in the Czech Republic. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows. Today is Part 2, where we make the case that the landmark parkour sequence is the film’s mic-drop moment. In celebration of the the tenth anniversary of the release of Casino Royale —now available to stream on Showtime and Showtime Anytime— we’re presenting a three-part series as to why it is the best film in the entire James Bond canon. A great angle for the awesome line delivery at the end of the movie. Daniel Craig delivers the iconic character introduction in the grounds of Villa Gaeta, Lake Como, Lombardia, Italy. Not quite as sunny as when the Casino Royale production team were there, but Nicolas Knight still grabbed a decent 'now' location image. Mr White gets out of his car with the stunning water of Lake Como, Lombardia, Italy behind. It is a little way up the coast and north of the location of the hospital where Bond was recovering earlier in the film. Given the stakes involved, there's a compelling argument to be made that the character has never shined brighter. Craig went on to solidify his run as James Bond as one of the most crowd-pleasing takes on the character ever. Obviously the same angle a little tricky to achieve without a step ladder and/or access to the building! Vesper is now much closer to where she started, passing near an apartment house 'Sotoportego de le Colonne' in the San Marco area of Venice. You'd almost think Daniel Craig had only just stepped out of shot....Another great location grab by Nicholas Knight. Daniel Craig is on the hunt with the buildings of the Fondamenta Toletta behind him. It's almost like the Bond crew only just left this pretty location. So with Peter Lamont, we worked out the idea of lighting through skylights in the roof. The interior of the house was built on the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios. Then more of these balloons explode, and the house sinks further and further with Bond, Vesper and the baddies inside." To distract everybody, Bond shoots a balloon, and as the house starts to sink into the canal, he manages to sneak in and hide behind a pillar. By anchoring the CG part of the plane to a real one, the team had less to create from scratch, as well as a real 3-D reference to help with size and perspective issues. As it is not lit up at night he captured the Spa during daylight. Again this is set in Montenegro but actually in the town centre of Loket in the Czech Republic. Giancarlo Giannini (Rene Mathis) greets Bond and Vesper outside a hotel in the centre of Loket.
