Daniel Craig injured, Bond 25 filming suspended

According to the British newspaper The Sun, Daniel Craig accidentally slipped while filming a high-speed running scene in Jamaica last week, and then he flew to the United States for an X-ray, which interrupted the filming. An unnamed source said that Craig was filming his last scene in Jamaica at the time.

The source said: "He slipped while running at full speed, which was very embarrassing. He felt very painful afterwards and kept complaining about his ankle." The report said that although it is unclear how long the filming of the film will be delayed, the schedule originally scheduled to start this weekend at the Pinewood Studios in London has been cancelled. Craig's fall is reminiscent of the fall accident that Tom Cruise suffered on the set of "Mission Impossible 6" in 2017, when the filming of the film was interrupted for nearly two months. Although Tom Cruise was seriously injured, fortunately it did not affect the film's release as scheduled.

This is not the first time Craig has been injured while filming a 007 movie: he previously lost two teeth during a stunt in Casino Royale; he suffered cuts between his fingers and torn shoulder muscles in Quantum of Solace; and he also injured his knee in 2015's Spectre.

Bond 25 held its opening ceremony at the end of April at the Golden Eye, the birthplace of Bond in Jamaica. The film is directed by Cary Fukunaga and written by Neil Purvis, Robert Wade, Scott Z. Burns, Cary Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The new story will tell the story of Bond's quiet life in Jamaica, until his old CIA friend Felix Leiter comes to seek help. They try to rescue a kidnapped scientist, but this mission is not only far more dangerous than expected, but also takes Bond on a journey to track down a mysterious villain equipped with dangerous new technology.

In addition to Daniel Craig, the original cast including Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear, Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, and Jeffrey Wright will all return. At the same time, new characters such as Ana de Armas, Dali Ben Salah, David Dencik, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, and Rami Malek will join the new film.

"Bond 25" will be released in North America on April 8, 2020. In other overseas regions, the film will be released successively from April 3, 2020, and will be jointly distributed by Universal Pictures and MGM.
