Brace yourself, Panama. The “Lord of the Rings” trilogy created a Frodo economy in New Zealand. “Brokeback Mountain” lured fans to Wyoming. Now, Quantum of Solace—the new James Bond flick, which was filmed in the Central American country—just might do the same for Panama. It’s coming out in November, and my guess is that hordes of tourists (and more than a few newspaper travel sections) won’t be far behind.
