A large fire ripped through the James Bond film set at Britain's Pinewood Studios on Sunday, destroying equipment and damaging the building but no one was believed to be hurt reports Yahoo.

In a statement, the studios described the fire as serious and said they did not know how it had started. "We do not know the extent of the damage to the '007' stage, although it is believed to be significant. Fire crews are still in attendance at the site"

Filming for the latest James Bond movie "Casino Royale" had finished and workers had been in the process of dismantling the set. The James Bond stage burnt to the ground in an accident in 1984 but it was quickly rebuilt for future films.
