Hi darlings, I have news!
The Bond crew will be back here on Lake Garda starting tomorrow (Monday April 19), for three consecutive days, to finish filming the action sequence.
Due to bad weather, they didn't manage to film all they wanted to the first time around, so they're coming back to finish filming. They are going to film in the first tunnel on the Gardesana occidentale in Gargnano (so I'd think there's some scene in a tunnel??
)), then between Campione and Limone and then in a point where the road splits and goes up north in Tremosine, moving towards Limone and Riva. How do I know this? because we got notice of roads being closed again for Bond filming!
The closing hours for roads are from 8:30 to 12:30 and from 14:30 to 18:30 for those three days. MAN! these people are ****ing off the locals)
ANNNND in fact, in order to make up for the trouble caused to locals? The production has decided to donate a new ambulance to the local red cross. It will be delivered in June. I think this is VERY nice of them.
And the hilarious part? We've had a week of fabulous weather, and it started going not so well yesterday.. today it poured down all day and it's supposed to be raining for another two days!) These guys are really unlucky with weather here, I gotta say! )
This is all I have for now, will have updates tomorrow!
ETA: guessing local news just had a major scoop.. they showed a little teeny weeny bit of the Aston Martin filming between the tunnels in Gargnano and Tremosine. I couldn't make anything of it though, too short) Definitely a car chase between tunnels though, that I can say for sure.. they're the characteristic of the Gardesana Occidentale together with the great view.
I'm glad they decided to film including the tunnels too, some of them have been left in the original shape, that is to say without any concrete/lights inside, you see the rocks as they are, not smooth or anything, both on the sides and on top. Should make for a great setting in the movie.

It's good to see them finishing up. This is going to be a PTS for the ages B-)
Never before have so many wrecked so much for so many---er, or something like that (apologies to the great Mr. Churchill ;% )...

Well for starters they've had decent weather this morning so far.. two hours of filming with sunny-ish weather. It isn't perfect but there was some sunshine and it isn't raining at all so that's good enough, seen as the forecast was rain.
A friend of mine who needs to use that part of the road to go to work called me a few minutes ago and man was she mad at Bond, ready to turn into Xenia Onatopp!
Most welcome qwerty!
I may have an update later tonight as local news will probably do a report. Will keep you posted!
