‘Quantum of Solace’ Filming Suspended!
Filming on the new James Bond film in Italy has been suspended after three accidents hit the production in five days.
The latest incident left Aris Comninos, Greek stuntman, in a coma after his car, Alfa Romeo 159 collided with a lorry and then crashed into a wall.
Alfa Romeo crashed into a wall during a chase sequence involving a truck and Bond’s Aston Martin along the Gardesana, a curvy, two-lane lakeside road with gorgeous panoramas and many tunnels.
Comninos suffered a fractured cranium during the filming of a dramatic 15-minute car chase which opens the ‘Quantum of Solace.’
His co-driver, Bruno Verdirosi, was also treated in hospital but is not said to be in a serious condition.
A helicopter on standby during the filming flew the seriously injured stunt driver to Verona, where he underwent surgery, said town spokesman Marco Girardi, who also was acting as a liaison to the production company.
He said the driver suffered serious head injuries.
