By The Eddie Murphy and Keke Palmer-led upcoming heist film “The Pickup,” currently shooting in Atlanta, has been the subject of an accident that left multiple crew members injured says THR.
Amazon MGM Studios is producing the film with the incident reportedly taking place on Saturday. A spokesperson for the studio said the accident took place during a second unit action sequence that had previously been rehearsed.
The spokesperson says in a statement: “Unfortunately, the sequence did not go as planned and several members of the crew were injured as a result. We are still in the process of gathering facts on what happened and why, but first and foremost our thoughts are with those who are recovering.” They add that all safety precautions were reviewed prior to and monitored during the shoot.
The statement follows in the wake of an Associated Press report which indicated that the incident was a car crash after a truck ‘locked up’ and hit another vehicle. Their source says it was a “completely freak accident” and took place during what was considered a minor stunt.
Two crew members were reportedly hospitalized as a result with one still in the hospital as of today. Injuries weren’t life-threatening, but did include broken bones.
Pete Davidson, Eva Longoria, Andrew Dice Clay and Marshawn Lynch co-star while Tim Story directs from a script by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider.
