The mayor of a remote town in Chile interrupted the filming of the new 007 film, Quantum of Solace, yesterday and was detained by police as a result. Carlos Lopez, of Sierra Gorda, literally came between cameras and Bond star Daniel Craig when he drove onto the set, an act of protest against two separate points.
His first issue was with the size of the production, which apparently brought in special forces and a water cannon and prohibited people from walking around freely in their own town. He claims the scene was reminiscent of the worst of times during the harsh junta dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Boo hoo to his having flashbacks, and maybe I’m just used to film shoots hindering my walk around NYC, but that is no reason to mess with Bond.
