Ian Fleming, the author of the Bond novels, lived in Kitzbühel in the 1920s and studied at a private school.” He also adds: “Even though this will be the first time that agent 007 will be filmed in Tirol, there is an enduring connection between the most famous secret agent of all time and our region. In addition, 150 Tirolean filmmakers will get the chance to gain valuable experience in the context of such a large and prominent film production”.

This fills us with great confidence that the action-packed scenes for the new Bond film will be seen by an audience of millions when the film is released in Autumn 2015 and that will make people want to visit the locations for themselves in the Heart of the Alps.“Īnd Cine Tirol Director, Johannes Köck, reiterates: “James Bond in Tirol is the ultimate accolade for Cine Tirol, as the driving force for the region of Tirol as a filming location: this movie will draw the attention of the entire film industry to our region and help facilitate the acquisition of further international follow-up projects. The last Bond film, Skyfall, was watched by over 130 million in cinemas around the world. I am particularly grateful to Location Austria and FISA as well as those responsible in Sölden and Obertilliach for the successful cooperation. “I am very excited that the joint efforts, help and support will result in the most famous secret agent in the world on location in Ötztal and East Tirol.
“Two strong brands in their own field combine in the stunning mountains of our region: James Bond and Tirol,” says Josef Margreiter, Managing Director of Tirol Werbung and founder of Cine Tirol. Furthermore, the filming of this movie will generate major media attention at an international level and also create future film-tourism opportunities for the Ötztal and lesser-known East Tirol region. The impact alone on tourism is incredible: about 26,000 overnight stays will be generated by the film crew in Tirol. The economic benefit of this large-scale film project to the Tirolean region will be huge: taking into account production costs, with accommodation and meals, as well as transportation, accommodation and salaries of the local Tirolean filmmakers it is estimated that 6 million euros will be spent in Tirol. A total of 22 filming days is planned in the Tirol, and at its peak the film crew will consist of 500 people, including 150 local filmmakers covering various positions. In August the production office was set up in Sölden, ready to co-ordinate the planned filming, which is scheduled to take place from mid-January to February 2015. Eventually the combined efforts, as well as the logistical and finanical support, convinced the director and production team to choose the locations of Ötztal and East Tirol. Since January 2014 suitable filming locations were pursued around the world, including in Norway and Italy. It is because of the excellent cooperation between Location Austria (FISA Film Location Austria), local communities, tourist boards and mountain railway companies in the Tirolean villages as well as support from the Tirol region and Cine Tirol that James Bond will make his high alpine adventures in the region for the first time. Other stars of the 24th Bond film include Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Monica Bellucci and Léa Seydoux, with Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes (“American Beauty,” “Revolutionary Road” and Skyfall (2012)). The British production company “B24" will begin filming over the next few weeks as well as lead actor, Daniel Craig.
This is the largest film production ever to be made in Tirol and will bring with it not only immediate economic benefits, but also long term media impact, creating future film-tourism opportunities. Daniel Craig, will play Bond for the 4th time, embarking on his alpine adventures along with the other stars in the ski resorts of Sölden, in the Ötztal and Obertilliach, in the East Tirol region. James Bond to be filmed in Austrian TirolĠ07, the most famous secret agent in the world, will start filming the 24th Bond film, SPECTRE, in the Austrian Tirol. The cast and crew that were revealed last week evidently prove that the producers have done their best to out-perform the last film (Skyfall)." Although the return of SPECTRE was a much expected one it is nevertheless very exciting news for the millions of Bond fans around the world. "2014 will go to Bond history as the year when Christmas came early. East Tirol in Austria officially announced as filming location for the 24th James Bond film adventure, SPECTRE, due for global release on 6th November 2015.
