“- Where are they now?

– They appear to be on the rooftops of the Grand Bazaar.”

Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Tanner (Rory Kinnear)

In a great pre-credits sequence, James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) are in pursuit of Patrice (Ola Rapace), a criminal in possession of a valuable list containing the identities of all NATO agents who have infiltrated terrorist organizations.

The car chase continues on a motorcycle, including the rooftops of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.

James Bond and Patrice are on their motorbikes, weaving in and out of passing quidams in the narrow corridors, while Moneypenny follows them in her car from afar, guided by Tanner’s radio.

To film this incredible chase, the production team replaced the building’s tiles with rubber tiles to avoid breakage and to make the stuntmen’s work safer.

Nearly 400 technicians worked on the shooting of this one scene.

Grand Bazaar

Founded in 1461, the huge Grand Bazaar of Istanbul welcomes every day many tourists and locals in its long alleys.

60 alleys, 4000 stores established on nearly 30 hectares, figures that make you lose your head, or your sense of direction.

Initially conceived as a simple wooden covered market, the Grand Bazaar has grown over the centuries.

Divided into five major districts, leather, textiles, souvenirs, jewelers and finally antiques and carpets, it can be accessed through 18 different doors.
