The filming of the James Bond “Specter”, broadcast this Sunday evening on France 2, turned out to be particularly chaotic, between the leak of the scenario, the theft of numerous vehicles and the serious injury contracted by Daniel Craig. Focus.
Broadcast this Sunday evening on France 2, the feature film Specter, James Bond’s fourth adventure with Daniel Craig in the famous tuxedo, had a very eventful production. Leakage of the scenario, theft of numerous vehicles, serious injury of its main actor … Return on a shoot not really like the others.
In November 2014, a few days before the shooting of Specter began, the Sony Pictures Entertainment studios were victims of a large-scale hacking, with 47,000 people affected by the attack. The new opus of the 007 franchise is directly impacted, une draft of the script, containing key plot elements, leaked into the media.
The leak of the Specter script took place a few days after nine vehicles were stolen for the filming of the film in Austria. The cars, Range Rovers, were never found. Estimated cost of damage: nearly a million dollars!
Among the other concerns encountered by the production, we cannot omit this fight scene with Dave Bautista which caused a broken nose for the latter and especially a serious knee injury for Daniel Craig. Consequence of a Specter without his Leap: interruption of filming for two weeks.
We can also mention numerous refusals of filming authorizations. A religious association thus opposed an end of inadmissibility to the director Sam Mendes so that he put his cameras on the Roman bridge of Sisto, while monks vetoed a filming in the cemetery of Verano and the National Assembly of Wales did not agree to Specter scenes taking place within its walls.
Finally, we will conclude by recalling that the first day of filming in Erfoud, Morocco, was almost canceled due to … a sandstorm!
