	http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...73&ito=1490 Curse of Bond strikes again as 'jinxed' film's technician is knifed By JAMES TAPPER - More by this author � Last updated at 01:00am on 4th May 2008 Jinxed Bond: Daniel Craig's second outing as 007, Quantum Of Solace, has now been marred by three mishaps The curse of 007 has struck again after a technician working on the latest Bond movie was stabbed with a steak knife in a domestic dispute. The 58-year-old man, who was working on Daniel Craig's second Bond film, Quantum Of Solace, was found lying unconscious in a pool of blood yesterday morning after a night out. Police said he had been attacked by a woman in the bedroom of her house in Dornbirn, Austria. He is believed to have wrestled the knife from her and staggered into the street. He is now said to be recovering in hospital, according to Bond sources. It is the third major mishap to befall the movie, prompting fears it may be jinxed. Engineer Fraser Dunn, 29, was lucky to survive after crashing a �134,000 Aston Martin DBS into Lake Garda in Italy two weeks ago. Six days later, stuntman Aris Comninos, 40, suffered serious head injuries after crashing while filming a chase scene. In the latest incident Austrian police said the unnamed British technician had met a 47-year-old Austrian woman in a bar in the town of Dornbirn, near where filming is taking place. He was invited back to her home when she attacked him. He was discovered at 6am yesterday and police gave him emergency first aid. His condition was "critical". A police spokesman said: "The woman appears to have attacked the man with a steak knife in the bedroom. "At some stage he had wrestled the knife free from the woman and used it to drive her off before staggering out the door and collapsing in the street. "He suffered deep cut wounds to the head and hands, and the first policeman to arrive thought he had died as his pulse was so weak and there was so much blood. "The woman was found first." A movie spokeswoman said: "I can confirm a technician was injured in a domestic dispute."

Exactly - its likely for things like this to happen when doing dangerous stunts and this man just had a fight with a woman, he just met - his problem, nothing to do with Bond.

	You know...this is good for the movie somehow as the people keep hearing about it almost every day. Free advertising, a 'cursed' movie surely will take more people to the cinema than a 'normal' movie even if the so called curse does not exist. As long as they keep with Quantum of Solace on the headlines and nothing really bad happens, I think it'll be okay...it worked with Casino Royale and Craig prooved them all wrong. << 007 SPAIN >>

	What does this have to do with the filming and the production?

	What Bond production has gone smoothly? One of the interesting aspects of the series is there seems to be some type of problem(s) to overcome during production. I just wonder how they will address these setbacks when the DVD comes out. My guess is like most of the previous behind the scenes features they will downplay it or address it very lightly. "You didn't think I'd miss this performance, did you?"
