#A Ridley Scott-Related Fire Forced A James Bond Set To Be Rebuilt

“A Ridley Scott-Related Fire Forced A James Bond Set To Be Rebuilt”

Per the Pinewood Group, the 007 Stage was designed in 1976 by production designer Ken Adams for the Liparus supertanker scene from the James Bond movie “The Spy Who Loved Me.” The soundstage came with a whopping $1.8 million price tag and was meant to be a permanent studio home for Bond films and available to rent out for other film projects.

In the book “Collection Editions James Bond,” author Damien Buckland discusses the incident involving Ridley Scott’s 1985 film, “Legend,” and how it led to the stage’s destruction. The incident delayed the production of a James Bond film. Buckland writes:

“Production of ‘A View to a Kill’ began on the 23rd of June, 1984, in Iceland, where the second unit filmed the pre-title sequence. A week later, several leftover canisters of petrol used during the filming of Ridley Scott’s ‘Legend’ caused Pinewood Studios’ 007 Stage to burn to the ground.”

That wasn’t the final act for the 007 Stage, however. Much like James Bond, the soundstage had no time to die, and it was rebuilt in 1985. It was dubbed the “Albert R. Broccoli’s 007 Stage,” named after the longtime James Bond producer. Unfortunately, like a great Bond villain, disaster would strike the studio again.
