Extra, Extra!: Daniel Craig Injured on Spectre Set

In which I report on the latest entertainment news.

Injuries on the sets of major action movies aren't all that uncommon.  Just last year Harrison Ford broke his ankle while filming The Force Awakens.  Brandon Lee actually died while filming The Crow.  So to add Daniel Craig's name to that list for Spectre isn't just unsurprising, in a lot of way's it's pretty expected.

Craig injured his knee while shooting an action scene last February and had arthroscopic surgery performed on it over a previously scheduled break in shooting during Easter.  In addition to being a generally non-serious injury (as far as these things tend to go), it ultimately will not interfere with the movie's production.  Craig will return to work on the 22nd.

This unfortunate news aside, my already heightened expectations for this movie have flared up with every new report coming out of the latest Bond production.  The film's teaser trailer was already better than most movie's first full trailer.  Even reports of money-nabbing script rewrites have only served to make me more excited for it, because those rewrites actually made more specific references to the film's Mexican setting.

So what are you most looking forward to seeing in Spectre when it finally hits theaters?  Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
