007 James Bond '25' Filming a Perilous Event - Numerous Injuries
2019-06-05
[FoxNews] 'Bond 25' on lockdown after three 'huge' explosions on set: report

A Bond source said: "It was utter chaos.

The cursed new James Bond film was placed in total lockdown today after three huge explosions ripped through the set and injured crew.

Staff on the Hollywood flick were left needing medical treatment after a stunt went wrong on the world-famous 007 stage at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

It’s thought one was "seriously hurt" after the explosions, which took part of the roof off and at least five wall panels of the multi-million dollar complex.

The member of staff was left crushed by part of the set which fell on him.

Crew on the film, which has plagued with issues since the beginning of filming, were testing a stunt involving a fireball in a laboratory when the incident took place.

A Bond source said: "It was utter chaos.

"There were three huge explosions and it’s blown part of the Bond stage roof off and some wall panels off the stage. They were supposed to be filming.

"A fireball was supposed to go through the set. That was the stunt but something has gone horribly wrong.

"There were three loud explosions, one after another, and a member of the crew was lying on the floor outside the building injured.

"It went bang, bang, bang. The place is now on total lockdown."

It comes just weeks after Daniel Craig, 51, tweaked ankle ligaments when he slipped over as filming wrapped in Jamaica.

Filming was canceled for over a week as the star recovered from his injury.

The explosion is the latest setback to hit the new movie ‐ Bond’s 25th outing ‐ which has seen repeated claims of crisis and infighting.

#2  Probably the last true Bond film. Before Bond becomes a fat, black transgender whatsit.

#1  ....From the standpoint of a long-time Bond fan (the only one I never saw in the theaters was Doctor No), this one has been kinda snakebit. For some reason, the producers have felt that 007 needed to be retooled (even though the last two movies were amazing hits) and they've been doing, quite frankly, some dumb sh!t in the process. A bit concerned that if 25 isn't a huge, Marvel-level hit that EON Productions might pull the plug.
