The cast and crew of the so-called “Bond 25” will film for two months in the picturesque town of Gravina di Puglia, near Bari, this August and September.
“After recently hosting the latest films of Sergio Rubini, Matteo Garrone and Checco Zalone, we’ll now find ourselves face-to-face with James Bond, an unprecedented opportunity for which we have been working for months,” Gravina di Puglia Mayor Alessio Valente said.
Filming began in Matera, in the neighouring region of Basilicata.
Scenes for the movie were shot in the city’s the historic centre and its Romanesque cathedral, some of its picturesque stone streets and squares, and, of course, the Sassi – the ancient cave dwellings that the city is most famous for.
The film, set for release in early 2020, stars Daniel Craig as 007 and cast members include Rami Malek, Naomie Harris, Lèa Seydoux and Ben Whishaw.
