Explosion on the sets of 'Bond 25'

A major accident has been reported on the sets at Pinewood Studios in the U.K. Three huge explosions occurred that blew off the Bond Stage roof off.

Washington D.C.: It seems that the upcoming James Bond film has stuck with another hurdle following a major accident on the set of Pinewood Studios in the U.K.

The James Bond Twitter handle has stated, "During the filming of a controlled explosion on the set of Bond 25 today at Pinewood Studios, the damage was caused to the exterior of the 007 Stage. There were no injuries on set, however, one crew member outside the stage has sustained a minor injury."

The film's crew was testing a stunt which involved a fireball in a laboratory when the accident took place, reported The Sun as cited by the Hollywood Reporter.

"There were three huge explosions and it's blown part of the Bond stage roof off and some wall panels off the stage. There were three loud explosions, one after another, and a member of the crew was lying on the floor outside the building injures," a source told to the publication.

Earlier, the shooting was canceled for a week when the lead actor Daniel Craig damaged his ankle ligaments while shooting in Jamaica.

Craig has always been in headlines for the damages he has suffered while performing his own stunts. The actor had two teeth knocked out during his first stunt scene for his Bond debut in 'Casino Royale' and also sustained many other injuries.

'Bond 25' is a spy film and is produced by Eon Productions for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film is the 25th instalment in the James Bond series and is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Z. Burns and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The movie is slated to hit the screens on April 8, 2020.
