New Bond film to feature Rome in backdrop

Rome: The new James Bond film will have Rome as one of the locations, it has been revealed.

According to The Local, British actor Daniel Craig, who'll return as the famous secret agent for the 4th time, would be seen landing through a parachute out of a helicopter, on the Ponte Sisto, a narrow 15th-century pedestrian bridge across the River Tiber, that is itself a replacement for an earlier walkway dating back to the fourth century.

The untitled 24th James Bond film, which is to be helmed by Sam Mendes, would begin filming next year at London's Pinewood Studios, and is expected to hit theatres at the end of 2015.
