    Is it me, because from what I've just realized, hasn't France been used as a location since TLD? Brosnan's Bond and Craig's Bond hadn't been in France, at least, from what I remember too, none of the modern Bonds came to France (Craig's Bond had always been in Italy).

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_film_locations

    Maybe it's time to bring France back as a Bond location, it hasn't been since AVTAK, I mean, France have also been a prominent part of James Bond.

    Ironic, knowing the Craig era had so many French Bond girls. I'm all for Bond returning to France, I think it's about time, but I hope it's not Paris.

    My eight year old son just told me this place in Prague should be used in the next Bond film:https://www.getyourguide.com/en-gb/prague-l10/prague-mozart-ballroom-concert-ticket-with-3-course-dinner-t54783/?ranking_uuid=4958d92b-8386-4c31-8c7c-6886be24d2a8

    The city of Porto in Portugal.

    Lovely.
    @SIS_HQ How about Avignon or Aix-en-Provence?

    All very good suggestions. Especially Aix-en-provance.

    Porto just screams espionage film in the likes of The Third Man. Portugal has many beautiful locations. They haven’t been there since OHMSS, right? Lisbon?

    I'm all for both 😊, maybe Provence too or Rouen.

    Australia. Somewhere that hasn't been featured or featured in awhile, perhaps Asia? I don't think Skyfall did it justice.

    I'm not sure if Australia could work in a Bond film, I've seen it in Mission Impossible, just not an interesting location.
    I'd rather have Canada if going by the countries Bond has yet to visit.

    I quite like to see Indonesia and Asia. Their are some quite astonishing locations ripe for a Bond adventure? Especially with launching quite literally a new actor and world! :-bd

    I'm all for Bond going to my country now in Philippines 😅 even just for a scene, and I would go there to see the filming in person 😁.
    By the way, to bring the train back on track, France should return as a location.

    Well, if i had to choose a location that location would be a place with cool landscapes like the Scottish Highlands shown in Skyfall, but somewhere else. A stunning looking landscape. Beautiful on the outisde, but hides something beneath, like a villain's lair, or perhaps an old structure that will later serve as a showdown location between Bond and the villain...?

    I'd support Australia, as long as we get @Benny to play the bad guy!

    Otherwise, indeedIndonesia would be quite interesting.

    Singapore has long been on my list for story reasons. Seems like a film could jazz it up as a modern day equivalent to Cold War Istanbul or World War Portugal. Somewhere were all the streams cross on neutral ground.

    Same for Singapore. You've got the futuristic, almost alien architecture contrasting the tropical scenery with caves, temples etc. Likely very expensive to shoot there, which shouldn't be a problem now Amazon is at the helm.

    Singapore is somewhere that’s not been seen in films as far as I know, so it possibly could make it a unique location.
    It’s also a beautiful country

    I’d be pretty keen to see Finland on screen.

    I’m not very familiar with Finland. What would it have to offer as a Bond location?

    It would surely be unique.

    But then Bond went to Scandinavia in NTTD and it wasn’t really utilised that well.

    Singapore is a bit Las Vegas-y for me.

    I keep pulling for Bhutan. It's different.

    I never been to Las Vegas, so I can’t compare them.
    But I have been to Singapore. I agree, it would make a fantastic location for a Bond film.
    Beautiful country.

    With the suggestions, I think it all depends on the plot, there are many beautiful locations, but it could be on how a plot works upon a particular location.

    Bhutan is interesting, so is Malaysia, or any other countries here, but the question is, what Bond would do in those? What Bond could possibly do in some place like Bhutan?

    I could see Singapore if that has something to do with technology, It became a location for the rebooted version of Hitman 47, so, it's interesting.

    Malaysia, hmmmm...... I don't know.

    I could also see Finland working as a Bond location, there are many things to be done there, a NATO base maybe?

    Rupert played good agent 47 in Hitman, i think he could have pulled of Bond too.

    My list of Bond locations that could work on any plots and stories:

    Singapore
    Finland
    France (please, it's time)
    Switzerland (another one, long overdue for a return)
    Japan
    Maybe South Korea
    Philippines
    Lebanon
    Morocco
    Hong Kong
    Germany
    Ireland
    Maybe New Zealand? Have it be a second hideout of the villain and there would be a chase scene.
    Canada? If they're willing to adapt the TSWLM book.
    I could see Tunisia and Georgia (T'bilisi).
    Also maybe America, when did Bond have been to America? Since the Miami bit in Casino Royale 2006.

    I think the last time I saw Finland on screen was Billion Dollar Brain; possibly The Looking Glass War had a scene or two there. It really isn’t see on film much. I'm definitely in the pro-Finland camp for the next 007 film.

    We're currently in Malaysia, and yes, would love to see it back in the cinemas when I'm back home. The country has a lot to offer.
