James Bond Car Plunges Into Italian Lake
James Bond’s next car, though not confirmed as another amphibian, has been pulled out of Lake Garda in northern Italy where it plunged on Saturday. A driver was moving the black Aston Martin to the set of Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig’s next blockbuster as the famed 007. It had been raining quite heavily at the time and the driver may have lost control in the wet conditions. The cliff from which it went off was more than 10 metres high. Driver is safe in hospital.
Quantum of Solace is set to hit the screens in November this year and will be Craig’s second coming as the famous fictitious spy Bond. In his last flick Casino Royale, released in 2006, Bond got to show off in another Aston, the DBS. Thank goodness, Ford must be thinking, it was the Aston that got dunked, and not our Ka also featured in the film.
Its got bugger all to do with hollywood , Pinewood studios England .
i always thought they use mock ups for the bond movies. bad news it was a real one here
Why would Ford be thinking anything considering Aston Martin isn't owned by Ford any more???
I wonder if the driver is allowed to drive again
Yes they use stripped out Astons , if your ever in bedfordshire uk and fancy a walk ;) , goto millbrook testing ground , you can see and hear them being tested to their limtits .
Jamie Hibbard from topgear.com thinks that it is actually a scene from the movie, and the story is just press coverage for the movie
There are insurance companies so they will get them another one i believe :P like the movie red line when they crushed the ENZO ...
I saw this on the news this afternoon :) But hey, you know these Hollywood people can "just get another one", right?
