I don't buy into the "QOS is jinxed" stuff.Never have.

I can understand DC being taken to the local emergency room.Ouch .

It's merely a way for some news sites to drum up that extra bit of drama, in my opinion.

"You know what I can do with my little finger...nothing. Ow."

[Skudor]

I wonder what he was doing to get his finger tip sliced off...playing with knifes / a knife?

News update, tabloid headlines next to read.....

Daniel Craig forgets to do his shoelaces up in a double knot and COULD have fallen over as a result

Seriously though, surely these injuries are to be expected, I seem to recall someone saying it was an action film with lots of extra action. With a lot of action accidents should be anticipated hence that it was all dealt with together with the earlier stitches. The fact that the source may have been a bloke stuffing a sausage roll into his mouth whilst driving and being on a mobile phone at the same time and saw something doesn't make it even decent tabloid fodder really!

I would think, as he is an actor who has close ups, it is the facial injury which is of most concern.

Yeah I don't know about this report. Usually if someone from QoS set breathes loudly it makes BBC or AP Press/Reuters and I haven't seen anything about the finger cut, certainly nothing about DC getting his face cut. Fingers bleed like a mofo there are more blood vessels there, so it probably looked worse than it was, if that finger injury happened.

He got banged up in Casino Royale. Craig got a black eye from the stairwell fight, pulled a muscle or a tendon in his leg from the free running, busted his hand in the opening fight in the toilets, smashed his hand into a mirror and it swelled up like a balloon, he said. Its an action movie there will be some accidents and a lot of bumps and bruises, and perhaps cut fingers.

I wouldn't call this cursed either. They can say that about lots of movies, Poltergeist, Twilight Zone:The Movie(and it's horrific accident), Jaws, you name it you can fix a jinx to any movie where accidents or set backs happen. Doesn't make it real.

What? Daniel cuts his finger, I say blame Amy Winehouse. I can see the headlines now, WINEHOUSE CURSE STRIKES AGAIN!

[Dell Deaton]

Interesting how headlines are constructed.

In my mind, there's a bit of a difference (no pun intended) between merely "cutting" one's finger and "cutting off" one's finger. So there wasn't enough room in the headline to include the more descriptive and accurate word "off"?

[Scamp]

I sincerely hope that he wasn't badly hurt but I do wish that the newspapers would report with some real degree of accuracy and a lot less drama. They WOULD have to have had trained medical teams in attendance as the UK is very health and safety conscious, unless he WAS seriously hurt I doubt that he was taken/rushed anywhere, unless it was for a second opinion (and even then not really rushed). If they went to a local hospital they would have had to wait like everyone else. The NHS in the UK is very "jobsworth" and an emergency is an emergency is an emergency, trust me, and as a result I doubt that his celebrity would have escalated his position on the list much as ther would have been people far more badly injured!

[Simon]

Well, a stuntman hs been Killed on the set of Woo's latest.

This, I think, is newsworthy.

Danny's finger is not.

I just checked BBC News' website they claim EON confirmed Daniel 'cut' his finger, and was taken to hospital as a precaution. He came back to the set same day. They also said he'd had in fact had an injury to his face the week before. They didn't sound as if it was too serious. Accidents will happen. Glad it wasn't too bad like what happened on the Woo set.

[Simon]

Indeed.

I am reminded of an interview with Sir Roger when he was relating the changing degree of safety that the lead actor(s) have while on set.

He said that one is totally unsafe at the beginning of the filming as if you're killed at that stage, the insurance pays up and everyone goes home.

Likewise, you're totally unsafe at the end of filming as by then, there is enough of you in the can for them to glue it together without needing you any more.

So it really only leaves the middle of the filming whereby you can be assured of some degree of safety.

All very amusing and typically Roger.

This all seems rather ridiculous to me. I think the media is blowing everything out of proportion again and the "jinxed" thing. Man.. that's just stupid. They're all acting like Daniel Craig lost his entire finger or something.

Next headline:

JUDI DENCH MORTALLY WOUNDED BY PAPER CUT
Producers deny production is jinxed

Do you think this will mean that the trailer will be delayed?

I just hurried and came on here after looking through today's headlines and it said he sliced the top of his finger OFF. I don't think just simply cutting ones finger would make headlines but slicing it off yes that would. Anyway glad he got his little finger stitched back on and is doing well.

Q gave him a robotic finger.

It's the first time that Q has ever given Bond the finger.

Have just read this in 'The Daily Bollocks'...

All of the cast and crew of the new James Bond film 'Quantum of Solace' have been killed in a freak accident. Whilst descending on a skydiving for charity event, Singer Amy Winehouse urinated uncontrollably and all cast and crew have been killed. However. As her skydive took place in the UK, it is gynaecological unsure why it would effect the cast and crew shooting the next Bond a few thousand miles away.

Pussy O'Fanny who resides at 17, I Need Cash Fast Crescent, Ealing (name and address have been removed for legal purposes) says; "blimey, mate. I was just hanging out me washing and this massive tidal wave of urine brushed over me whites and went toward the direction of Italy". Mrs Fanny continued; "it sure scared the piss outta me".

If he sliced it off I doubt he would return to film more scenes later that day. It's even stated he only went to the hospital as a precaution. So he cut his finger. Big whoop. I mean sucks for him, but.. it's not really news from where I'm sitting.

It's whatever to me, man. He's fine. No need to be a smart . I didn't see that post in the beginning that ImTheMoneypenny put up...sue me. I'm just saying where I saw this news at. New Zealand or wherever...not that I go looking for news on a New Zealand website it was actually a link from Google news.

Yeah, you're right. I was misinformed because I got that particular piece of news from a New Zealand website.

Like I clearly said in the previous post..I don't think someone simply cutting their finger on a film set is news worthy but slicing it off yeah that is news worthy. Now I see that he sliced it but not off.

I wasn't dissing you, just the article. Its gone from cutting his finger to "Bond star slices finger off" accoriding to stuff.co.nz

Maybe tomorrow an Indian newspaper will tell us that it was in fact his whole hand. Or arm. Or head.
