Re: Bond stunt driver takes plunge into lake in Aston Martin DBS

Bond crashes!

Filming for the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace has been suspended after a string of crashes, the first of which saw the starring car, the Aston Martin DBS, being dragged out of Lake Garda.
The latest incident has left a stuntman in a coma after the shooting for the opening scene went wrong for a second time. It involves a villain chasing Bondıs DBS in an Alfa Romeo 159.
The Greek stuntman, Aris Comninos, suffered a fractured cranium after colliding with a lorry and is currently described as stable. He was involved in a crash a week ago filming the same scene, with a re-shoot ordered after the production team werenıt happy with the initial result.
Comninos has a heap of experience, winning a Screen Actors Guild award for his involvement with the Bourne Ultimatum ­ another film with an action-packed car chase as its highlight.
The second incident came on the penultimate day of shooting, with claims the film and its 40 stuntmen are cursed. It all began with scenes of the demolished DBS littering the newspapers after an Aston engineer spun it into the water while driving to a press event ­ incurring a speeding fine rom the Italian police in the process. Despite the drama, he got out and swam from the car unharmed.
