Filming on Jake Gyllenhaal's new movie Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time has been interrupted after a number of deadly scorpions were let loose the set.

The movie - which also stars Bond girl Gemma Arterton - is currently being filmed at Pinewood studios, in Buckinghamshire, England.

But officials were forced to call in a team of pest control experts to help contain the creatures, which were reportedly accidentally shipped in from Morocco when shooting on the movie transferred back to Britain.

Several scorpions have now been recaptured, but staff at the studio have been warned to be vigilant in case any more of the creatures are lurking in the building.
