Curse of Bond strikes again as Daniel Craig slices tip of his finger off during filming
The curse of James Bond has struck again - after 007 actor Daniel Craig sliced off the tip of one of his fingers filming an action sequence.
Craig, 39, was taken to hospital today while the 22nd Bond movie, 'Quantum of Solace' was being shot at Pinewood Studios.
It is the second time in two weeks that Craig has been injured during filming. A week ago his face was cut and required eight stitches.
Bond star Daniel Craig, seen here in an acrobatic scene from the new film Quantum of Solace, has sliced the tip of his finger off in the latest accident on the set.
But after the injury to his hand in the morning he was back on set to resume filming in the afternoon.
'There was quite a lot of blood and it was decided he needed to go to hospital for emergency treatment,' explained a member of the Bond production team.
'Some people are beginning to believe the film is jinxed.'
A spokesman for production company Eon said that the actor was taken to see a doctor as 'a precaution'.
The accident is the latest in a spate of mishaps that have plagued the latest Bond film.
At the weekend a fire broke out and caused severe damage on an outdoor Bond set at Pinewood.

The 007 studio at Pinewood had been open for only a year after it had to be rebuilt after a previous fire destroyed a giant replica of Venice during filming of the last Bond film, 'Casino Royale.'
Two stunt men were hurt in separate car accidents while filming Quantum of Solace on location at in northern Italy in April.
British engineer Fraser Dunn, 29, was left fighting for his life after he crashed a £134,000 Aston Martin DBS into the water at Lake Garda in northern Italy.
During the same shoot an unnamed Greek stuntman suffered serious head injuries in a car crash.

The 'Curse of Bond' has struck Halle Berry in 2002 during the making of Die Another Day as Bond - played at the time by Pierce Brosnan - was filmed firing at a helicopter.
In 1997, during the filming of Tomorrow Never Dies, Pierce Brosnan was left scarred after he was hit hit by fragments of a bullet.
And In 1967 during You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery a stuntman lost both his legs in the rotor blades of a helicopter.
