This Is Italy
Last week, the protagonists Daniel Craig and Monica Bellucci of the new 007 movie Spectre still welcomed with open arms. But since Feyenoord hooligans wreaked havoc in the historic center, mayor Ignazio Marino and the residents are apparently less enthusiastic. The residents are still waiting for some tough scenes.
A funeral scene was shot in which only English-speaking security guards kept the curious population at a distance. Streets were closed and traffic diverted for a chase along the banks of the Tiber.
The Italians lost their patience: 'Why aren't these images just shot in a studio?' Votes are now going up for the James Bond movie to boycott. 'You can't paralyze a city for the shooting of a movie, can it?'
Car chase past old fountains
By the way, the film crew was not allowed to film a car chase at the Quattro Fontane, four baroque fountains that have recently been restored for millions. There was a fear of damage to the monuments. It is unclear what the producers will do with this part of the script now.
The worst is yet to come
The Daily Beast know that the worst is yet to come. Tourist hotspots such as Piazza Navona and the Vatican will also be closed off for the continuation of the spectacular chase.
Also at night there will be shooting and tearing through the eternal city. Creative residents have now tapped into their entrepreneurial spirit and rented out their apartment along the route to paparazzi.
Previously, for Spectre recordings made in Austria and London. Morocco and Mexico are also still on the program as decor. The film will be released this year for Christmas.
Monica Bellucci looks fantastic with her 50 years, don't you think?
