The upcoming James Bond film, “Quantum of Solace” was filmed in part in Panama, and “injected a huge amount of money into Panama,” according to Carmen Gisela Vergara, Panama’s minister of commerce. The country is currently encouraging the creation of a movie studio in Panama, and is allowing movie companies to register for filming permits online, both in hopes that major movie companies begin will look to Panama as a filming destination.
