After some ocation work in London and the 007 Stage at Pinewood in January, the entire first unit moved to Panama City old town to shoot on location, followed by further location work 80 km away in Colon.
Following the Panama shot, cast and crew flew to Chile for scenes at the ESO’s (European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere) Very large Telescope atop the 2,600 meter high Cerro Paranal mountain in the Atacama Desert. Finally, additional footage was taken off the coast of Panama in mid-March.
After central and south America the production moved to Italy to shoot what seems like it will be high octane action. These scenes take place in Siena and around Lake Garda, where firstly an Aston Martin was written off when the driver crashed off the road into the lake, esxcaping from 50 meters; and then a stuntman was badly injured when a stunt went awry during filming by the second unit; despite serious head injuries, he is currently recovering.
Following Italy they moved to Austria for scenes shot at a floating opera.
