The villa called "Buena Vista", contains a legendary restaurant "where waiters in burgundy jackets serve charcoal-broiled lobster and curried grouper to such illustrious patrons as Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine and Julio Iglesias".
According to Stan Bocus, who owns the mansion for about 31 years, the old colonial building will be painted to make it look even older when it is transformed into the embassy, where the new James Bond will take on bad guys in the upcoming Casino Royale. Question is whether the "Buena Vista" doubles for the British embassy in Montenegro or if a part of the action is actually going to take place in the Bahamas.
It is also said that filming on the Bahams is not due before February 23. Last month, sources told different news outlets that filming would commence on January 30 in Nassau. Over the last two weeks, however, several sources reported that filming starts in Prague, not the Bahamas. There are also rumours that the 2nd unit already started filming in the insular state. Hopefully, we will officially know by tomorrow.
