The lair for Dominic Greene has been chosen by the production crew as Chile Cerro Paranal. It is 8500 foot mountain and holds a very large telescope. It has been described as the worlds most advanced obseratory. Around the obseratory is a esidencia, so people can live there all year around, A great feature for Greene plans.
According to press it will include;
* An Enclosed Tropical Garden
* Pool under a futuristic domed roof
^ Above The Cerro Paranal ^
It looks ok, reminds me of a Dr, Evil hidout.

A secret lair? Does the villian really need one? Le Chiffre didnt have one, but Gustav Graves had one. Which is this movie going to be more like?
I LOVED Casino Royale, but I am now seriously concerned that QoS will be like the other sequels following a reboot. Read my original thread on this to see what I mean in detail, but to summarise the media coverage jyst seems too like it was in 1997 following GE and while TND was being filmed.
Enough said?
Additionally, these 4 domes make me worried, that we are facing again some ground-controlled Satelites and stuff, which are threatening the world from space. Like we have seen too often(YOLT, DAF, MR, DAD)

Agreed. One thing we do know, thanks to CR, is that pleasant surprise should not be ruled out as a possibility

This sounds suspiciously like DAD. Couldn't they find a better movie to copy?
Agreed as well.
My anticipation of QoS is continually enhanced... :007)

Ohh i cant wait untill 31st October
Earlier for me:p
How long before we start hearing about Tungsten missiles dropping from space? :P
This location has potential to be used correctly, but as has been indicated, lairs have a little history with the 007 series...
The building where filming is taking place is the Residencia.
An enclosed tropical garden? -- a Garden of Death, perhaps? That would be kind of cool, depending how they worked it into the story
Ooooh... B-)

-Does a villan nead a lair? Perhaps, if there is a good reason why it looks like it does.
-Is it too remisent of DAD? Time will tell!
Not too origional thoughts, but they are thoughts anyway ....:)
I really don't mind an element of sci-fi and high technology lairs featured in James Bond, otherwise it wouldn't be James Bond, but I know where you're coming from and hope this is not going to be as cheesy as that darn ice palace featured in Die Another Day (however the Carver stealth boat and Elektra's island were not as far fetched as 006's Cuban complex).
But Quantum of Solace is building up on the crime syndicate introduced in Casino Royle with Le Chiffre's superior, Mr. Greene, having more men, more toys and a bigger fortress. I don't mind a nod towards the more far fetched Bond movies and Austin Powers, but hopefully no mirrors out in space.
