Vienna - Residents in the western Austrian town of Bregenz were keeping their eyes peeled on Tuesday for actor Daniel Craig who is shooting several scenes for the upcoming James Bond movie in the town.
A film crew will be in town until May 9 to shoot scenes for Quantum of Solace, the latest installment in the movie series featuring the British secret agent.
Filming on Tuesday started with a chase scene in the city's festival hall, a spokesperson for the Bregenz opera festival said.
The city's annual opera festival, with its signature floating stage on Lake Constance, will play a prominent role in the movie.
In the evening several streets in the medieval town, with a population of 30 000, will be closed off for filming, before filming on the floating stage on Wednesday.
For James Bond to chase his adversaries across the huge stage, which is dominated by elaborate props and a huge eye, festival organisers set up a complete performance of Puccini's Tosca, complete with audience.
The movie's plot remains a closely-guarded secret until it hits cinemas in November. - Sapa-dpa
