"The James Bond movies are the longest running film franchise in cinema history. It is estimated that over half the world's population have seen 007 in action in one of his 25 adventures. The series is known for its jet-setting format and with the trend of visiting iconic screen destinations showing no sign of slowing down, Culture Trip caught up with authors (and fans) Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury to pick out their favourite locations"
"As Bond historians we were surprised there had never been a book which examined 007's globe hopping in any great detail, so we set to work on DARKER THAN THE SUN: An Atlas of James Bond Movie Locations. We interviewed the directors, writers and stars to find out how the geographical backdrop was chosen for each Bond film and what it was like shooting on some of the most glamorous dangerous and inaccessible corners of the world."
The James Bond film franchise spans 25 films and is the longest-running in cinema history, viewed by over half the world’s population. The series is famous for jet-setting plots that showcase iconic global locations, shifting from glamorous elite settings to more dangerous and less glossy places in recent entries. Ian Fleming’s prose captured elite locales while exposing darker recesses with an investigative, journalistic eye. The early Connery and Moore films offered visual spectacles beyond television; modern travelers now capture exotic locations on smartphones, making true discovery harder. DARKER THAN THE SUN: An Atlas of James Bond Movie Locations chronicles 007’s globe-hopping and details location choices through interviews with directors, writers and stars, presenting top film destinations such as Istanbul.
