Now, let's go and view the locations that exist in
SKYFALL 007.
1. Eminonu Square, Istanbul, Turkey
With one agent already dying, Bond chases the assailant,
Patrice (Ola Rapace),
through the crowded Eminonu Square, one of Istanbul’s oldest squares,
overlooked by the minarets of the fabulous Yeni Mosque, and filled with
over two hundred and fifty market stalls for the production.
Additional info is Skyfall is the third Bond film to
feature Istanbul, following From Russia
With Love, and The World Is
Not Enough.
2. Varda Bridge, Kiralan, Turkey
Bond falls from the railway viaduct |
3. Trinity House, Trinity Square, London
M is driven through Parliament Square and along Whitehall in Westminster,
the centre of UK government, for a meeting with Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes).
The building’s distinctive frontage is not completely revealed: if it were, you
might recognise it as the home to villainous lawyer Manfred (Iain Glen)
in Lara Croft:
Tomb Raider or, further back, from the 1960 Peter Sellers comedy
caper Two Way Stretch, or from the 1976 screen version of Sweeney!.
4. Cadogan Square, Knightsbridge, London
This is M's home and where she can find him miraculously alive.
5. National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London
Bond meets up with the new Q here
6. Hashima Island, Japan
Surprisingly, the long-shots are real. The strange Hashima
Island, a tiny deserted outcrop off the south west coast of Japan,
about 10 miles from Nagasaki. Less than a square kilometre in area, Hashima was
once part of Japan’s deep-sea coal mining activity, packed with several
thousand workers. Owned and operated by Mitsubishi Motors since 1887, it fell
victim to the global decline in mining and closed for good in 1974, when the
inhabitants quickly left. This is where the deserted island retreat of silva were taken.
7. Whitehall, Westminster, London
Unscathed, Bond finally emerges from Westminster
Station and sprints alongWhitehall in a desperate attempt to get to M
and the parliamentary hearing before the vengeful Silva.
There are so many places in this movie and we just show to you guys a few of them. This movie is really exciting and sometime will make you cry somehow. HaHa. Okay, time to go now, see yaa!
