I think India is a great location. India has only been used in the clownish OP, it is time they use it again. I would also like to see the Moscow undergrownd, Indonesia, China (Beijing?), Kashmir (India/Pakistan) and obviously Norway.
I think we should send Bond to one of the real danger spots of the world, How about central London.
You made me smile... )
Actually I was thinking London but for different reasons. There is the original Moonraker material which could be used and London is a fascinating city with all kinds classic Bond locations. Not to mention the rest of the UK is easily accessible with some great filming locations.
In the backgrund of the last picture is Trollveggen ("The Troll Wall") The Troll Wall is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe, about 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) from its base to the summit of its highest point. At its steepest, the summit ridge overhangs the base of the wall by nearly 50 metres (160 ft). The Rauma River and the European Route E136 runs just to the east of the wall.
If you combine that landscape with a extreme downhill skiing chase; say, 007 on skis being chased by a helicopter with bad guys with assault rifles and hand granades....

James Bond film finale to be shot at Duntrune Castle
An "explosive" finale for Bond 23 will be filmed at Duntrune Castle, Argyll
The final scenes of the new James Bond film are to be shot at Duntrune Castle, near Lochgilphead in Argyll.
Patricia Malcolm, who lives in the castle with her husband Robin, said several days of filming would start at the end of February 2012.
The 23rd Bond film, which will be Daniel Craig's third outing as 007, is rumoured to be called Skyfall.
It follows the shooting of two other Holywood films - World War Z and Cloud Atlas - in Scotland recently.
Mrs Malcolm said: "They are coming here at the end of February and are going to film for several days.
"They are using the castle - just the outside - it's going to be used for the end of the film.
"I think it is meant to be James Bond's ancestral home - he will bring all the villains here.
"I believe it's mostly being filmed in China and Turkey. They want a winter scene, so they are going to bring their own snow."
Mrs Malcolm said fans could expect an explosive end to the latest instalment of the spy's adventures.
She said: "It looks as if they are going to construct the set and then blow it up.
"I think they are going to attack the castle from land and sea - there are going to a lot of bangs and explosions."
Builders are set to begin work on the site early in the new year - and boost the local economy by employing craftsmen from the area.
Cast and crew are also expected to stay in the area, generating business for local hotels, restaurants and bed and breakfasts.
The castle is about 95 miles from Glasgow, which has played host to two other major Hollywood films this year.
Scenes from Brad Pitt's zombie film World War Z were filmed in Glasgow city centre in August, while Halle Berry visited in September to shoot scenes for Cloud Atlas.
The city has also hosted Peter Mullan's film Neds, the forthcoming Perfect Sense with Ewan McGregor and Eva Green, and The Decoy Bride, starring David Tennant.
Exiting! Mrs. Malcolm might misunderstand or exaggerate, but I trust her more than tabloid journalists. I hope they don`t mess up Bond`s origin, Carte Blance-style, but this I want to see!
Mmm.... Real spoiler territory here but was excited to read about it...
However anyone see the Pandorica episode of dr who where all his enemies gather to defeat him and the twist is they all thought the Dr was the actual enemy of time and the universe...
"I think they are going to attack the castle from land and sea - there are going to a lot of bangs and explosions."
This line gets me excited as we have yet to see Craigs Bond in some Epic battle finale (in fact I can't even imagine it with DC with the no nonsense approach they have had so far in his reign)

Could this be the gig in B23?
