James Bond 'Skyfall' to film in Bognor Regis

The new James Bond movie Skyfall is reportedly set to film in Bognor Regis.

Daniel Craig's third outing as the legendary spy has been scheduled to film in the seaside resort and will rely heavily on sets created at Pinewood Studios due to budget cuts, The Mirror claims.



"To say some of the cast and crew are a bit gutted is an understatement," a source said. "Originally six different countries were selected to film certain scenes but after several technical and financial problems, it was decided to scale back and just use Turkey as the sole foreign location.

"As well as Pinewood's incredible facilities, the UK has an array of amazing, untapped resources, and some stunning beaches particularly along the south coast and parts of Wales.

"While Bognor is hardly the most exotic of locations, it is important for the franchise that they support British industry, and give something back. Everyone is confident this will be one of the best Bonds ever."



The Sam Mendes-directed film has been filming in London, including the Greenwich Royal Observatory (above), over the past month.

The first official image from Skyfall, showing Craig back in his famous Casino Royale swimming trunks, was released this week.

Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw star in Skyfall, which opens in cinemas on October 26.
