Aston Martin to be used in James Bond film plunges into Lake

Post by Misha »

ROME: An Aston Martin has been fished out of Italy's Lake Garda after it plunged into the water while being driven to the set of the latest James Bond film.

Producers of "Quantum of Solace" say James Bond's iconic car was being delivered to the filming unit in heavy rain on Saturday morning when it went off the road and into the lake in northern Italy.

Italian state TV has shown footage of the smashed, black car being hoisted out of the water.

Producers say the driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

The newest film in the 007 series stars Daniel Craig and is due for release later this year.

For a minute I thought it was a part of the movie and wondered how they cold do that . I get more upset when they blow up a 68 mustang in a movie or tv though .

fberglass frames are used too

Oh no, my heart bleeds! Such a beautiful car :(

Let's hope it's covered by insurance which no doubt it will be.

There will be many men´s heart bleeding - and some womens´s I guess. Good, its just the car. Lets see - they wracked three and a half in CR, so this is number one all over and done with. :wink:
The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..
