Shot in Baja Mexico! Releases November 14 USA


Another Bond Film Shot in Baja Mexico! this one is out Friday, November 14 in theatres throughout the United States.

Baja Racing News.com Movie Review: Worth the price of admission. Yes, the shots were in Baja Mexico and they say in the film its Bolivia, the rest of the film is well done.

For anybody who can't be in Mexico for the Baja 1000, this film is a great time killer. Lots of bullets and action. Like the Baja 1000 this year!


It's Daniel Craig's second outing as 007, following the laudable Casino Royale. He's will be joined by old hand Judi Dench as M, plus new Bond Girls Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton as Bond girls, playing the "mysterious" Camille and MI6 Agent Fields, respectively. Also on board is Mathieu Amarilic, who'll take the role of villain Dominic Greene. As said previously, Quantum of Solace will follow on from Casino Royale, with 007 "picking up the pieces after being double-crossed by Treasury agent Vesper Lynd".

Shooting started in San Felipe on January 26, 2008, Baja, Mexico.

Things got under way on January 25, 2008 about 10:30 AM, as all 3 planes took off one behind the other the Aerostar was first off then the Marchetti Follow by the DC-3 what a breath taking site with mountains in the background and some white clouds hanging out it was a nice site for sure. It was a rap about 4:30 PM day one.

The normal day off Sunday came at just the right time as is was not possible to shoot with all the rain we had Sunday, so it was just great and the workers did not miss a beat.

Details of Daniel Craig's second outing as 007 were revealed at the production's first press conference, held earlier this year at Pinewood Studios in the south of England. "Quantum of Solace" sees 007 out for revenge on a mission that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America. Filming for the latter location will take place in Panama and 7 other places including the desert near San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico.
