SPOILER: Bond 22 end sequence revealed, shooting Thursday?
A potentially big spoiler has been leaked online for the currently untitled Bond 22, so your probably advised to look away now. Skip to the next article, forget this ever happened. Go to your DVD shelf, put on Casino Royale. Relax. You don't need to know this! Ok for those of you who stayed (I hope there was at least one, otherwise me writing all this is pointless!). Times Online have featured a lengthy Bond 22 article which repeats a story from an Italian newspaper They say the climatic final act of the film will take place during the centuries old traditional bareback horse race of Pulio in the Tuscan town of Siena. Kinda like the end of The Third Man, a chase down cobelled streets and across rooftops will occur as Bond tries to catch up with the villain admist the addition of all these horses for this festival. This event is held twice annually, once in July and once on August 16th. This means that some shooting will certainly happen this Thursday in Italy, but it will likely all be with helicopter and other filming crews to get insert shots which they can play around with the actors during editing. I wouldn't expect Daniel Craig to make an appearance but then again, you never know. The Italian Federation of Equestrian Sport (that was a mouth full) are said to be unhappy about the filming of Bond 22 there because of a fear it would glamorise an event which they see as cruel to animals and that the horses are subjected to "unacceptable risks". 50 horses are said to have been killed along with many more badly injured at this festival since the 1970's.
