Several pics of the Aston in the Lake on Kataweb.it:

OMG... Is that the suit from the end of Casino Royale? Atleast he's wearing the same clothes.

In this article, the pilot is given a different name, Dunn Frase (30 year old)

I think that's Adam Kirley. The chap who did the car flip in Casino Royale.

Excellent work, as always, MkB.

Judging by that first pic, it looks as if the Aston is set for

another tumble.

This photo is from the accident scene (in real life), not from the set. So it doesn't say much about the film

Na...MkB is on it. Two in a row would not bode well for DC's James Bond becoming the 007 we all know and love.

About Adam Kirley, here's a nice video of Tiff Needell and him (presumably from Fifth Gear), testing the DBS:

Yes, considerably... I'll see to that...

Aston Martin DBS Accidentally Plunges Into Lake Garda

Bond car veered off the road while being driven to 'Quantum' set

[Mr. Blofeld]

That could've potentially been an awesome stunt in the film: Casino Royale had the six-roll DBS, Quantum of Solace could've had the lake-plunge DBS!

Would make sense to considering when this film begins.

Somebody was either screwing around or they just don't make them like they used to.

Daaaamn.... This one got it pretty hard.

It doesn't seem like he's wearing the waistcoat though...odd. It's the same in other photos they released from later on in the PTS. Same pinstripe only he's also lost the tie in those, and definitely no waistcoat.

Two videos of the cars:

and

(the 2nd is a tad more interesting, showing mechanics working on the contraption attached on one of the Astons

But this third one intrigues me more: it looks like a half-car??

That's a stunt car with the body removed. Interesting that's it's right-hand drive, though.

[delfloria]

Looks like an old chopped Jag with camera supports.

Oh man!! That sucks about the Aston crashing into the lake.. Glad the driver is going to be okay.. but to parapharase Sharky in Licence to Kill..

" God..What a terrible waste....of an Aston Martin!! " LOL

Perhaps the waistcoat would impede his movement within the car, and since we'll only be seeing very long shots of him in the car, such attention to detail wasn't necessary.

Whats this that they're reporting about now that it was the only car the production had to use in the film? I thought they had a few of them. If its true though, that could cause some problems and delays.

Yes, I heard this on a YouTube clip from some US TV. As it's clearly not the only Aston Martin on set, I see two possible reasons:
- this is simply bull
- this car was specially prepped to carry some special gizmo, either to be featured in the film, or to film (like the contraption we saw on other pics)

Probably wasn't even a real DBS.

Yeah, it's tabloid trash. They had five cars; now they're down to four. This accident is precisely the reason why they take multiple cars to the set: because if someting happens to one - like, say, a technician is involved in an accident and drives it into a lake - then they have back-up vehicles on hand. While they mainly use those vehicles for other parts of the sequence, one could easily stand in for another in the event something drastic happens.

[delfloria]

Maybe when they gave him the 007 car he got confused and thought it was the white lotus esprit.

Yikes.

Does anyone know how long this accident will set filming back?

[Captain Tightpants]

Probably not that much, really. Contrary to what the tabloids say, the film crew still have four Aston Martins at hand, which could easily be used for the sequence the destroyed car was en route to (supposedly the final shots). I daresay once they knew the technician who crashed the car was alright, they went back to filming with one of the other cars. If not, they'd probably just re-schedule the scene they were going to shoot until such time as another car could be brought in.

Cool, thanks

[Righty007]

I wish I was rich enough to have unlimited Aston Martins to up.
