Bond producer`s concern over Daniel Craig`s arctic trip

He may have jumped from crane to crane in his debut outing as James Bond, but apparently that didn't stop 007's producers from worrying about Daniel Craig's safety during his latest project.

The Casino Royale star has been in the Arctic Circle filming The Golden Compass - an adaptation of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials novel - where polar bears caused some trouble on set.

And the film's director Chris Weitz told the Daily Express that those in Bond HQ were rather worried when they found out about the wildlife - reports Metro.

"I guess they were a little concerned that having discovered their new James Bond in Daniel, we then headed to the Arctic Circle where the polar bears were a constant and deadly threat to the crew," he said.

Daniel, meanwhile, was not phased by the experience.

"As a massive fan and avid reader of all of Philip Pullman's novels, I was happy to go through the usual hardships," he said.
