Following the leak of official Sony documents earlier this year, it was revealed that Spectre has been plagued by a few major setbacks, including last minute script changes, an overly inflated budget and multiple location issues.\u00a0While filming in Rome in March this year, the production was forced to cancel an important action sequence that was scheduled to take place at a historic traffic intersection. The Italian authorities deemed filming a high speed car chase at the recently restored 15th century Quattro Fontane as too much of a risk. Rome\u2019s Culture Minister Federica Galloni was quoted as saying: \u201cThe site is too delicate from an architectural point of view\u201d. In addition, another sequence on the Ponte Sisto bridge was cancelled after protestors expressed concern over potential damages to the significant site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6105\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6105\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6105 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Sony Pictures\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4.jpg 1618w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6105\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Sony Pictures\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4.jpg 1618w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_SU_09794_A4-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6105\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Sony Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These incidents in Rome weren&#8217;t the first time the filmmakers had run into problems during production. In December last year, nine brand new customised Range Rovers were stolen from a garage in Du\u0308sseldorf before they could be shipped for filming in the Swiss Alps. But despite the many incalculable problems that filmmakers encounter during productions of this magnitude, the rewarding thrill of shooting in such breathtaking locations around the world does nevertheless outweigh the risks of hitting obstacles.

Principal photography for Spectre commenced in early January after Production Designer Dennis Gassner stumbled upon S\u00f6lden, a remote town some 3,048 metres high up in the Austrian Tyrol. \u201cIt was a long journey for me, through many countries to try and find this (location)\u201d, says Gassner. \u201cWe found a very unique, modern facility that we were looking for. So here we are now, first day of shooting and its absolutely amazing\u201d, he added with a sense of relief, standing next to the Ice Q Restaurant, which doubles for Bond villain Christoph Waltz\u2019s Hoffler Klinik, a remote alpine medical clinic.\u00a0Over 500 cast and crew members, as well as truckloads of heavy duty lighting and camera equipment, were used over the 33-day shoot on location in Austria alone, with an additional two-week rehearsal period prior to filming. \u201cThere\u2019s all the difficulties of filming somewhere that\u2019s so cut-off, coupled with the weather possibilities, the altitude, all those things\u201d, explains Production Manager Martin Joy. \u201cIt\u2019s a real challenge to be out here, but the payoff is stunning scenery and an incredible location\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6098\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6098\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6098 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Sony Pictures\" width=\"1024\" height=\"828\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4.jpg 1335w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-1024x828.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-768x621.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-1200x971.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-600x485.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/828;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6098\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Sony Pictures\" width=\"1024\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4.jpg 1335w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-1024x828.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-768x621.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-1200x971.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_04195_Crop_rgb_A4-600x485.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6098\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Sony Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An especially outstanding location is traditionally reserved for the opening sequence of a Bond film, and with Spectre, director Sam Mendes wanted to draw on the vibrant festivities that surround Mexico\u2019s annual Day of the Dead holiday. \u201cI wanted the audience to be dropped to the middle of a very specific environment\u201d, expressed Mendes. In late March, production moved to Mexico City in order to incorporate the elaborate celebrations into a sequence involving James Bond on a rogue mission as he takes care of some unfinished business. Mendes underlined his enthusiasm for the setting by adding, \u201cEverywhere you look here there\u2019s colour, detail and life\u2026 The craftsmanship is amazing\u201d. For a particularly crucial scene involving a fight sequence on a helicopter, an entire central city square had to be closed for filming.\u00a0The unique arabesque architecture and golden hazy light of the port town of Tangier in\u00a0Morocco has lured filmmakers to its romantic, timeless streets for decades. For the last\u00a0leg of the shoot of Spectre, the production became immersed in the setting of the cobbled streets of Tangier\u2019s historical Kasbah and old Medina districts, also used for a previous Bond film The Living Daylights in 1987. In order to film additional scenes featuring the Oriental Desert Express train, production wrapped up in the eastern desert cities of Oujda and Erfoud. The film\u2019s dramatic contrast between hot and cold locations is no accident, and Mendes intends to use this balance to emphasise key plot points throughout the story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6101\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6101\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6101 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Sony Pictures\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/682;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6101\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Sony Pictures\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.stage.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/B24_08234_r_rgb_A4-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6101\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Sony Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the countless logistical and planning hurdles throughout its conception, the\u00a0makers of Spectre have taken these risks to ensure that audiences will be overwhelmed by its heart stopping action sequences, breathtaking scenery and compelling storyline.
