SPECTRE Featurette - First Behind The Scenes Look (2015) Daniel Craig 007 Movie_ by [Amanda Michelle Steiner / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Amanda Michelle Steiner / Entertainment Weekly Nov 5, 2015 3:16 PM UTC by [Amanda Michelle Steiner / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Amanda Michelle Steiner / Entertainment Weekly Nov 5, 2015 3:16 PM UTC Stephen Colbert is a huge James Bond fan, but he has one bone to pick with Daniel Craig and the franchise in general: How is it that Bond manages to immediately destroy every beautiful car he gets his hands on? In a taped sketch from Wednesday’s _Late Show_, Craig and Colbert addressed that particular plot hole in a fictional sneak peek from _Spectre_ (out Friday). When Craig-as-Bond bursts into Rental Co. to rent a new vehicle after trashing his last one, it’s with all the urgency of someone who has assassins chasing after him … which is actually the case. However, the rental car employee played by Colbert is not moved: “We all have things to do.” Once Colbert pulls up Bond’s record, he feels compelled to point out that previous rentals had been smashed into buildings, driven out onto the water, and driven into Russian arms vehicles. Luckily, all that really matters in the rental car world is that you return your vehicle with a full tank of gas. Check out the sketch above. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/05/daniel-craig-stephen-colbert-james-bond-sketch) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com) ## Transcript Speaker: [ MUSIC ] We are in Austria, in the mountains, in a beautiful place called [ UNKNOWN ]. Speaker: It's very surreal, it looks like a painting, especially from a guy like me. I'm, you know, from the inner city. I grew up in the inner city. This is my first time, ever, on a mountain. [ LAUGH ] Speaker: I'm quite nervous, at the moment, but I'm really excited. And looking forward to starting with them. Action. Above all we have to deliver an amazing sequence. And this is gonna be one of the major actions sequences. Gregg Wilson, Associate Producer. Of the movie. A jewel in the crown, so to speak. And it's gonna be spectacular. And Austria seemed to offer everything that we needed to pull it off. [ MUSIC ] It was a long journey for me. Dennis Cassner, Production Designer. Through many countries to try and find this. And we found a very unique, modern facility that, we were looking for. So here we are now. First day of shooting. And it's just absolutely amazing. There's always difficulties in filming somewhere that's so cut off. Coupled with. The weather possibilities, the altitude, all those things. It's a real challenge to be up there, but the payoff is stunning scenery in an incredible location. [ MUSIC ] The thing that Sam and I talked about was how we're gonna top the sky falls so. That's gonna be specter. And so far, it was a good start. I think we're gonna continue the history of the Bond films and making things that are exciting for the audience just to look at. And what could be more exciting than to be on top of the world?
