    News websites are reporting that the ‘James Bond curse’ hovering over the Quantum of Solace production has struck yet again.

    According to a report from the Telegraph, Daniel Craig was rushed to the hospital from Pinewood Studios earlier today after cutting off the tip of his finger during an action sequence on the 22nd Bond film.

    An unnamed member of the 007 production team said: ‘There was quite a lot of blood and it was decided he needed to leave the set and see a doctor.’

    ‘Some people are beginning to think the film is jinxed. During filming in Panama, Daniel injured his ribs. And a technician was stabbed in Austria by a woman he met in a bar’.

    ‘In Italy a stuntman crashed an Alfa Romeo and a mechanic drove an Aston Martin into a lake. Just last weekend a fire damaged some sets at Pinewood.’

    Craig was able to return to the Bond set later in the day to continue film. A spokesperson for Eon Productions said he was taken to the hospital only as ‘a precaution’.
