Daniel Craig’s knee injury has sent filming on ‘SPECTRE’ into chaos.
The 46-year-old actor sustained a knock while shooting the new James Bond movie last week and though he was initially expected to return to work a few days later, schedules have now been changed to accommodate his recovery, with planned stunt shooting in London last Sunday (08.02.15) axed.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Daniel’s injury is a real concern. Missed deadlines are a nightmare in the film world as it pushes everything back.
"Then not all the iconic locations can be rebooked easily or quickly.
"In two weeks filming is due to switch to Rome and bosses fear Daniel’s recovery may mean they have to plan around their main star. It’s certainly not ideal."
While the actor recovers, studio filming and location shots which he isn’t involved in have been brought forward, and close-up fighting shots have been delayed.
Director Sam Mendes now faces a race against time to get the film finished in time for its release in cinemas in November.
Yesterday (12.02.15) movie bosses released the first footage of the spy saga.
The behind-the-scenes clip, which lasts for just under two minutes, shows Daniel dressed in black firing a shot and running towards a burning vehicle on a snowy mountaintop in Solden, Austria.
Gregg Wilson, the film’s associate producer, teased: "This is going to be one of the major action sequences of the movie, a jewel in the crown so to speak. It’s going to be spectacular and Austria seemed to offer everything that we needed to pull it off."
