Last week, director Sam Mendes announced the casting for the next James Bond movie, “Spectre”, and Aston Martin unveiled the DB10, the car the world’s most famous (albeit fictional) spy will drive in the film.
Now, according to a New York Times report, nine of the cars, among them five Range Rover Sport SUVs, that were in a German garage near Dusselforf awaiting shipment to the Alps, where filming for “Spectre” is scheduled to begin, were stolen. “We are aware of the theft of a number of Range Rovers in Dusseldorf, Germany” said Land Rover UK in a statement. “This is a criminal act and the police are carrying out a full investigation.”
Producers have not announced if the theft will cause any delay in filming for the 24th movie in the James Bond franchise and the police, too, is keeping mum about any leads concerning the incident.
Clearly, this has not been a good week for the new Bond movie: apart from the car theft, a cyberattack on Sony’s database led to a leak of the “Spectre” script. We guess the producers must be a bit shaken (martini pun intended) by these two setbacks…
