Is the new Bond movie 'jinxed?'

A stuntman was fighting for his life after a spectacular accident in Italy during filming of the latest James Bond movie - the third in less than a week.

Also a British engineer Fraser Dunn, 29, cheated death after he crashed a £134,000 Aston Martin DBS into the water at Lake Garda in northern Italy. And just hours later a stuntman was injured in another car chase.

The latest incident involved a Greek stuntman, who suffered serious head injuries after an Alfa Romeo 159 he was driving in a chase scene involving James Bond ploughed into a lorry.

The unnamed stuntman had to be cut free from the mangled wreckage of the car by firefighters following the accident at Limone dell Garda near Brescia. He was airlifted to hospital and was in a critical condition with serious head injuries. And a another stunt driver suffered minor injuries.

Filming on the 22nd Bond film - which again stars Daniel Craig - was immediately halted and today producers were still debating whether to reshoot the scene or scrap it completely.

One set insider said: "There is talk of a jinx on this movie - three accidents in a week even for an action spectacular like James Bond is too much.
