James Bond film 'Skyfall' is to shoot almost entirely in the UK

James Bond film 'Skyfall' is to shoot almost entirely in the UK after budget cuts meant production could no longer head to Bali and China.

The forthcoming 23rd installment of the franchise - starring Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and Dame Judi Dench - was expected to shoot in locations across the globe including Bali and China, but because of budget cuts Turkey is now the only other country the movie will go to, reported Daily Mirror.

"Six different countries were selected but after several technical and financial problems, it was decided to scale back and just use Turkey as the sole foreign location," a source said.

'Skyfall' has already begun shooting on location in London and the film, which is being directed by Sam Mendes, is due for release in November.
