Daniel Craig suffered a leg injury during "Spectre" filming. Thankfully, the James Bond depicter recovered quickly and has resumed filming. The actor sprained his knee following a fighting scene in Pinewood studios in Buckinghamshire, U.K. earlier this week, but a source in the production tells Deadline that Craig was back on set on Saturday, February 8. "Everything is fine. We have been filming today," the source said.
Craig's injury reportedly nearly caused the production team to panic because of tight schedule. "Bond bosses would have been panicking. Filming deadlines are so tight, any sort of delay can bring mayhem to the schedules," a source told The Sun. Following the incident, the crew were sent home. "The extras were simply told, 'You can go home - Daniel's injured his knee,' " the source added.
Roger Moore, who previously played the charming spy in seven movies, jokingly offered to take the Bond duty after learning of the news. "Sorry to hear Daniel Craig has sprained his knee on set #Spectre. Being 007 is not without its hazards. I'm available to step in if needed," he tweeted. The "Moonraker" star later added, "Ahhh good news: Daniel will be back on set tomorrow. I'm hanging my safari suit back in the wardrobe."
Amid the injury news, "Spectre" has released a new photo to give glimpses at what appears to be a ski scene. On its official Instagram, the "Spectre" team shared a photo of a camera truck. The caption simply read, "COVERING ALL ANGLES. #SPECTRE."
"Spectre" is set for release in the U.S. on November 6.
