What will be the reaction when you hear that a film unit blew up an astonishing £24 million (Rs 240 crores) worth of Aston Martin DB10 sports cars just to shoot a very short chase scene? Well, the unit of James Bond’s upcoming movie, Spectre, did this unthinkable, while they were shooting in Italy.
The Spectre unit shot with 10 custom designed Aston Martin DB10s, made especially for the chase scene. The cars, equipped with ejector seat, James Bond’s most famous gadget, ran through the Vatican, the River Tiber and the Colosseum at nearly 110 mph speed and the production crew ended up destroying 7 Aston Martins.
Spectre, starring Daniel Craig once again as James Bond, has been shot in various places like Mexico, Austria and Italy. The film’s trailer has been a huge hit already, and expectations among loyal fans of this superhit action thriller franchise are quite high. Spectre will release worldwide on November 6th.
