Director Roger Spottiswoode says bad luck can happen to any 007

21-May-2008 • Quantum Of Solace

Moviemaker Roger Spottiswoode has offered his condolences to the crew of the new James Bond film, insisting the current run of stunt disasters could have taken place on any 007 film set - reports PR Inside.

Spottiswoode, who directed Pierce Brosnan in 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies, admits he feels sorry for fellow filmmaker Marc Forster, who is in charge of new movie Quantum of Solace.

The production is currently filming in Europe and South American and has been hit with a string of on-set accidents - including a car crash which left one crewmember critically injured.

Spottiswoode says, "I'm sure they're being very careful. We were being incredibly careful. It's very bad luck. You're always trying to work on the edge doing things (stunts) that have never been seen... but things happen.
"They've been hugely unlucky but I'm sure they're as careful as they've ever been. I'm sure they're in pain because of it (the stuntman's accident) but they're doing everything they can to be careful."
