No offence.....but New york has been done to death.
Every Amrican film takes place there - every TV film, a short feature. How many times has there been another car chase down Fifth avenue
Wirth a Bond you can do ANYWHERE
So lets have some original locations
Andalucia
Salzburg and Munich
Prague
Israel
Moscow (I'd like to see him walk across Red Square..)
Cape Town
Singapore
Beijing
Nepalese himalayas
Sydney or Melbourne
Bueno Aires
1. For Your Eyes Only 2. The Living Daylights 3 From Russia with Love 4. Casino Royale 5. OHMSS 6. Skyfall
Personally, I don't think NYC can ever be "done to death". It's all a matter of perspective and screen time. Bond would not have to spend anymore time there than he did in LALD. It would just be a jumping off point after meeting Leiter at a famous spot like the UN or Rockefeller Center (it would be great seeing them even meet up at the 21 Club). From their they could go to one of the estates on Long Island for some action or have Bond end up in Saratoga Springs as he did in DAF then head up to Canada. These locations would only have to be in the first third or half of the film and for the remainder he could end up any place else on the planet. The TV crime dramas in NY do nothing for me. They mostly are interior studio/talking head scenes to begin with and most of the locations I've seen are usually fairly banal spots. The only TV series I watched that really used NY as a character was the USA network's "White Collar". I actually looked forward to watching it to catch what famous location they would be at each week.
