First look at footage from new James Bond film

There’s been a plenty off-screen drama on the set of Bond 25 – from Daniel Craig injuring his ankle, an unexpected explosion on set and a change in director.

To offset the bad press, the studio has released some behind-the-scenes footage of the on-screen drama in the new film.

The 60-second clip sees Bond riding around on the island as director Cary Fukunaga does his thing behind the camera.

According to the official story line, 007 has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica.

His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help.

The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

Daniel Craig returns to the role for the final time in the as-yet-unnamed Bond film, which is due to be released in April 2020.

The 25th instalment of the super-spy franchise will also feature Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek, pictured above, as the villain.

Anticipation for the film is high, but the production hasn’t been easy.

Craig was injured during the Jamaica shoot and was out of action for two weeks after having ankle surgery.

It was also previously reported that a controlled explosion was carried out at Pinewood Studios, causing a minor injury to a crew member.
