New James Bond film rocked by three huge explosions

Three huge explosions have ripped through the set of the new James Bond movie, causing ‘chaos’ and leaving at least one person injured.

The new James Bond film has been placed in lockdown after three huge explosions ripped through the set and injured crew.

According to The Sun, a staff member on the Hollywood flick was left needing medical treatment after a stunt went wrong on the world-famous 007 stage at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire in the UK.

It’s thought one person was “seriously hurt” after the explosions, which took part of the roof off and a number of wall panels of the multi-million pound complex.

The staff member was left crushed by part of the set, which fell on him as he stood on a ramp outside the studios.

Crew on the film, which has been plagued with issues since the beginning of filming, were testing a stunt involving a fireball in a laboratory when the incident took place.

A Bond source said: “It was utter chaos.

“There were three huge explosions, and it’s blown part of the Bond stage roof off and some wall panels off the stage. They were supposed to be filming.

“A fireball was supposed to go through the set. That was the stunt, but something has gone horribly wrong.

“There were three loud explosions, one after another, and a member of the crew was lying on the floor outside the building injured.

“It went bang, bang, bang. The place is now on total lockdown.”

A film spokesman said a “controlled explosion” injured crew members and caused damage “to the exterior of the 007 stage”.

The explosion is the latest setback to hit the new movie — Bond’s 25th outing — after repeated claims of crisis and infighting.

It comes just weeks after Daniel Craig, 51, tweaked ankle ligaments when he slipped over as filming wrapped in Jamaica.

Filming was cancelled for over a week as the star recovered from his injury.
