Why Malta Would Be a ‘Dream’ Location for the Next James Bond Movie


As the next James Bond movie comes into focus, Malta's film commissioner hopes it could join films like 'Enola Holmes 3' to shoot on the islands.

During a festival masterclass, “Munich” production designer Rick Carter recalled that 20 years ago, Spielberg and their team cut down on costs and logistics by doubling an impressive seven different countries, from Israel to Italy and Cyprus, in several Maltese towns. The festival, which just wrapped its third year with a lavish awards event featuring “Gladiator” star Russell Crowe, is a “strategic tool” to show off the country but also to promote networking, says Grech, with the aim of “bringing nations together to discuss the art of film and the changes that the industry need.” During the festival, DiveMed underwater shooting specialist Abigail Borg conducted boat tours of notable maritime locations from films like “Napoleon” and “By the Sea,” and explained how her company works with productions like scuba thriller “The Last Breath.”
