Bazaar mishap for Bond team

A STUNTMAN in the new James Bond film Skyfall, currently filming in Istanbul, lost control of his motorcycle and smashed into the window of a 330-year-old shop in the city’s Grand Bazaar.

The stuntman swerved to avoid hitting extras while riding through the 15th century Grand Bazaar at high speed, the NTV news channel said, but crashed into the jewellery shop, smashing its crystal glass window.

“It is very nice for the Grand Bazaar to be chosen as a location for shooting this kind of movie. But the bazaar’s administration … didn’t notify us the shooting would be like this,” said Mete Boybeyi, the owner of the shop.
