A member of the team of the new episode of the James Bond saga was slightly injured Tuesday during the shooting of a controlled explosion, announced the official account of the films of the agent 007.
The incident took place at Pinewood Studios, near London, and caused "damage" off the shelf, can be read on the Twitter account. "No one was injured on the set, but a member of the team outside the scene suffered a slight injury," he adds, without further details.
According to the tabloid The Sun, the incident occurred during the test of a cascade involving a "fireball". Part of the set would have fallen on a member of the film crew who was standing on a ramp.
"It was total chaos," said a source in the team, quoted by the British newspaper. "There were three big explosions and part of the roof of the Bond scene jumped."
The filming of the 25th episode at the saga's cinema was recently marked by another incident, this time involving Daniel Craig, the actor currently playing his Majesty's most famous spy. In late May, the official Twitter account of 007 announced that the British comedian had been injured during a shoot in Jamaica, with no impact on the release of the film, scheduled for April 2020.
