Hm. So now we've got CR's 'action scene injury' story from the British
tabloids. Don't want to sound cynical, but anybody remember the horror
stories about Halle Berry's near-blinding during the making of DAD, and
how much hype that turned out to be? I'm not saying it *didn't*
happen, and if it did, get well soon, Dan, but until there's proper
corrobboration I'll reserve judgement.
I note that MI6 have picked this up too:

Thanks to James for noting that details in the various press reports
differ...

True, but the scope for debate is kind of limited :-)

If this story is true then Daniel must be in some pain. Once the
painkillers wear off, it's quite painful.

Some more details on the injury:
The latest blow to his image is believed to have come in a fight scene
involving an actor playing a henchmen to evil baddie Le Chiffre -
played by Danish actor Mads Mikkelson, 41. Bond was supposed to be
confronting a terrorist bomber at an embassy in which he ends up
throwing him through a window after first knocking out other baddies.
Instead Craig came off worst.
According to a film insider, panic set in as director Martin Campbell
and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson realised how badly
he'd been hurt.
After failing to find a local dentist who could quickly repair the
damage, they opted to fly Craig's dentist in from London. Dr McNeil, of
McNeil & Barrett, flew out to Prague and spent the day in the studio's
medical room carrying out the repair work. He repaired Daniel's broken
teeth with caps using a record of his teeth he'd brought with him.
A source said the incident happened at the beginning of the month. He
added: "Daniel was trying to say, 'I'm all right', but he could barely
speak. It was obvious he was in a lot of pain.
"Everybody was in a panic because they knew any injuries to Daniel
could mean a delay and cost a fortune. It could even have delayed the
film's release, which would have been disastrous. No local dentist said
they could repair Daniel's teeth properly at such short notice so
producers flew his personal dentist in. He had to wait a few hours
before his dentist could get to Prague, but afterwards he was almost as
good as new.
"Daniel's dentist did a great job - and only charged producers for his
expenses. As he is an old friend he did not make him pay for the work.
Daniel was really grateful and glad to get back to working so quickly.

--- Well, we could get into the pros and cons of how his two missing
front teeth might affect his romantic scenes with Vesper - will it be
convincing enough and will Eva Green not mind having a
double-gap-toothed Craig all over her? Hm, from Double-0 to Double
Gap-toothed.

--- Well, I did predict that the film would encounter problems of one
sort or another which would delay its release till February 2007. They
seem to be still on schedule for their original release date, but it's
not over till it's over and I think I'll still stand by my prediction.

Brosnan required plastic surgery during TOMORROW NEVER DIES
and the film completed on time.

He also injured his knee quite badly on DAD and lost a week's filming
as a result (he says it's his own fault for not warming up before doing
a shot where he had to sprint). These things happen on action films,
and there's usually a way around them. Craig's reported injury is
rather 'ouch'-worthy, however: losing teeth ain't pleasant.

Roger Moore broke his front teeth and hurt his hip when he lost control
over a speed boat during the first filming days over Live And Let Die.
That movie was completed on time and I Roger looked fine on screen.
