Production on Bond 25, the new film in the James Bond saga, has begun preparations for the start of filming, scheduled for July in Italy. Filming will take place in the city of Matera, in Basilicata, southern Italy.
Bond 25 will have a prologue similar to that of 007 Against Spectre, which took place in Mexico City, during the Day of the Dead celebration.
The recordings are expected to involve around 500 people and are expected to take place at the end of July. Matera is known for being used in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.
