A blogger named Cailey Halloran has done some work as an extra on Quantum of Solace. A small excerpt:

Filming is taking place in Casco Viejo in a shell of an old building overlooking the Pacific waters. The building has been deemed “Eco Park” for the scene in which the villian (i’m assuming because of his wiry looks and ominous French accent) Mr. Greene, hosts a benefit to stop global warming. The inside of the building had been turned into a swanky modern bar, with white ice cube looking lights constructing the bar and grouped throughout the floor as seats. The contrast of the decomposing building with the modern lighting and simple decor made the sight breathtaking.

This is the first bad news I’ve heard. It sounds so much like the Ice Palace scene in which a villain hosted a party to unveil something that would help end world hunger. Of course it didn’t turn out that way. In fact, Max Largo hosted a benefit party in NSNA. It’s not a scene I long to see again.

Day Two’s blogging is funny but not as informative (although worth reading).

The highlight of my night was filming around 3:30 am (out of sequence) when directly after Greene’s speech Bond walks through the crowd (near yours truly), up the stairs, and onto the balcony where Greene had formerly been located. Bond follows along the balcony, which leads into the upper level bar area where they then meet.

H/t to MI6 for the link.
