A film crew will be in town until May 9 to shoot scenes for Quantum of Solace.

Bregenz, Austria
Filming Tuesday started with a chase scene in the city’s festival hall, a spokesman for the Bregenz opera festival said.

The city’s annual opera festival, with its signature floating stage on Lake Constance, will play a prominent role in the movie.

In the evening several streets in the medieval town, with a population of 30,000, will be closed off for filming, before filming on the floating stage Wednesday.

For James Bond to chase his adversaries across the huge stage, which is dominated by elaborate props and a huge eye, festival organizers set up a complete performance of Puccini’s Tosca, complete with audience.

Daniel CraigFilm bosses want Daniel Craig to appear nude in the next James Bond movie, ‘Quantum of Solace‘ say reports.

Producer Barbara Broccoli admitted that she regularly asked Craig whether he would strip off for the role, but confessed that the actor hadn’t complied with her requests so far.

She told: “I’m always after him to take his clothes off, every day.

“I have to fight on behalf of all the women, and some of the men, too. I’m doing my best.”

Craig famously appeared wearing just his swimming shorts in the last 007 film Casino Royale.

“What Marc wanted and the producers and what I wanted is to bring back a visual flair to the movie, so that every frame in every shot that we see is beautiful.” said Daniel Craig recently.

Maybe Craig will do it, one short scene of his sweat naked back and down… :P
