Male Bonding

Just when you thought the production problems that have dogged Casino Royale, the latest James Bond film, were finally over...

The Movie Reporter (aka IESB)'s Robert Sanchez, (via an article in the UKs' Sunday Mirror) posts that the famous superspy had to make, not one, but two dentist appointments so that he could finish saving the world from evildoers.

...we have early reports that Daniel Craig got popped in the mouth by a henchman during their first fight scene and lost two teeth.

As the shaken star staggered backwards clutching his bleeding mouth, cameramen thought it was a brilliant piece of acting.

But they quickly realised the new 007 was really hurt. His injuries were so bad local dentistry experts could not treat him. So Craig's dentist was flown out from London for emergency surgery in the Czech capital Prague.


Dentist Rod McNeil, based in London's Cavendish Square, fixed caps to his broken teeth then flew back to Britain.


The actor has now been given six gumshields and told to wear them while filming stunt scenes for the [multi] million [dollar] movie at Prague's Barrandov Studios

If I already wasn't sure that such things didn't exist, I'd swear that someone out there put a hex on the film, after finding out former Bond star, Pierce Brosnan wasn't going to do another one.

I mean Casino Royale was already made into a spoof once, in 1967, but the new version is quickly becoming an unintentional comedy of errors as well. No writer on the planet could make this stuff up. Hopefully, this will be my last post on this film for a while...reporting on the strange stuff anyway.
