Oops. Yesterday I kind of got off on a tangent talking about James Bond and Jack Bauer, and forgot the point I was going to make.
I bet you that at some point in the next two James Bond movies (#22 or #23) James Bond will visit to Dubai.
Now, maybe he won't be cruising down Sheikh Zayed Road in some crazy-fancy car, or swinging from a crane onto one of the Emirates Towers, or ski racing the bad guys at Ski Dubai, but I could see him cruising around the Palm Jumeirah in some huge yacht. Maybe having a meeting (and drinks, if they have a bar?) at the Burj al-Arab hotel, too.
I know James Bond is a snobby south of France / Bahamas kind of guy, but Dubai is getting pretty big and pretty global.
Just a thought.
*If I'm wrong on this, maybe Dubai will feature in the next Mission: Impossible movie instead, which I hope they make with Brad Pitt instead of Tom "Crazypants" Cruise.
