Bond stunt driver takes plunge into lake in Aston Martin DBS
At 6:30 this morning, a stunt driver shooting a scene for the upcoming James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, lost control of an Aston Martin DBS while filming a chase scene and plunged into Lake Garda in Rome. The film’s executive producer, Anthony Waye, said that the scene was being shot in the pouring rain, and although the DBS didn’t survive it’s unplanned excursion into the water, the driver sustained only minor injuries and was released from the hospital earlier this afternoon. MI6 declined to comment on the incident, but a spokesperson for the agency remarked that the submersible kit for the Aston was under development. Too little, too late Q.
Thanks for the tip MaTTia.
