James Bond film stage 'on fire'

Plumes of black smoke covered the studio
The James Bond stage at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire is ablaze, the fire brigade has said.

Eight fire engines are attending. It is not known if filming was taking place there at the time.

Eyewitness Jen McVean, who owns a firm at the studios at Iver Heath, said the stage was "completely on fire".

Ms McVean said she saw smoke from her garden and went to the site of the studios and found out her special effects firm was not affected by fire.

However, she said as far as she could see the Bond stage, where the new film Casino Royale is still in production, was destroyed.

"Nothing is salvageable and there are many, many fire engines there," she added.

Ms McVean saw the black smoke billowing above the studios from her garden which is around a mile from the site.

A spokeswoman for the Buckinghamshire Fire Brigade said they were alerted at 1118BST on Sunday.

"We were called to a fire at the 007 stage at Pinewood Studios," he said.

I thought Bond had wrapped shooting anyway,

Filming had wrapped, and so I think CASINO ROYALE will be okay. But this stage is legendary and a great loss.

The shooting had finished but the stages are still up for re-shoots (just in case) those have been burnt so no more re-shoots for them.

Pretty sad really

horrible to see that place like that again..

They can rebuild it,
They have the technology,
They have the capability to make the Worlds best sound stage,
The 007 stage will be that place,
Better than it was before,
Better Stronger, bigger.
