Production Diary (32)
14th May 2008
Shooting on the upcoming James Bond adventure
"Quantum of Solace" continued
in and around the mountains of Carrara in Italy today, for a
scene which will have 007's Aston
Martin DBS crash in to a marble quarry. The real-life marble
basin location in Fantiscritti has been a quarry for generations,
but workers put excavations on hold for a day whilst the Bond
crew deliberately wrecked some vehicles.
It is not the first time cars
have crashed on the production,
but this time it was deliberate as the photographs today clearly
show the fate that awaits 007's wheels in the movie. Carrara,
which is 190 miles south of Lake Garda, will appear - thanks
to movie magic - to be seconds away from the car chase footage
shot earlier.
Bond is chased by villains in Alfa Romeos around the banks of
Lake Garda, culminating in a devastating crash in the Canalgrande
and Fantiscritti marble quarries. The action will form the pre-credits
sequence to the movie and is expected to run for 15 minutes.
