The upcoming James Bond film has hit yet another roadblock following a major accident on the sets at Pinewood Studios in the UK. As per the official James Bond Twitter handle, a controlled explosion went wrong during the shooting of the film, damaging the exterior of the famous 007 stage at the iconic studio and injuring a crew member outside the stage. It is being reported that the film's crew was testing a stunt involving a fireball in a laboratory when the accident took place. As per some source, there were three loud consecutive explosions and a member of the crew was lying on the floor outside the building injured. This news comes days after the lead actor Daniel Craig damaged his ankle ligaments while shooting in Jamaica, with the production being cancelled for a week as he underwent surgery. The upcoming 'Bond' film has had a tumultuous journey. The film earlier hit a roadblock following a troubled script process that saw original director Danny Boyle exit the project over creative differences with producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. The film revolves around Bond, whose peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter [Wright] from the CIA turns up asking for help. The movie is scheduled to hit the big screens on April 08, 2020.
