James Bond: License to Crash ... Again!

Posted Apr 24th 2008 10:19AM by TMZ Staff

It's been car wrecks galore for the new James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace."

For the second time in a week, a terrible accident involving stunt drivers occurred on the Italian set of the latest Bond flick.

Italian officials say a stuntman suffered serious head injuries when he and another stuntman crashed during a car chase sequence on a winding lakeside road. The second stuntman was slightly injured.

UPDATE: Filming has been suspended on the set of "Quantum of Solace" while the accident is being investigated by Italian authorities. Meanwhile, the driver of one of the cars remains hospitalized, in serious condition. Director Marc Forster, star Daniel Craig or any other cast members were at the location when the accident occurred.

3. Looks like the next JB film will be heavily CG (comp. generated). They're getting too dangerous in an attempt to up the bar to get more asses in seats.

11. Maybe the stuntman too was english, and he was thinking could drive on the left...

12. Uh, maybe the stunt sequence should be better thought out. If it is causing daily serious accidents they should seriously rethink. Greed should take a backseat to human lives.
