James Bond’s special bond with Istanbul!

Istanbul has been zeroed in as one of the prime locations for Skyfall, forthcoming James Bond film starring Craig as Bond.
For the 3rd Time in the 50-Year History of the James Bond Franchise, Istanbul has served as a Backdrop
Daniel Craig and cast and filmmakers of SKYFALL, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time, reached Istanbul, Turkey to address the press.
Their arrival marks the third time a James Bond adventure has filmed in the historic city. Previously, Istanbul served as a backdrop for scenes in ‘From Russia with Love’ and ‘The world is not enough’.
SKYFALL locations in Turkey include Adana, Fethiye and Istanbul.
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, director Sam Mendes, and cast members Daniel Craig, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, and Ola Rapace reached the city today.
In SKYFALL , Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
The film also stars Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, Ben Whishaw, with Albert Finney and Judi Dench as ‘M.’
The film will be released in UK and Ireland on October 26th 2012, in India on 2nd November and in North America on November 9th 2012.
