LOS ANGELES, United States: Several people sustained injuries in an accident on the set of a new Eddie Murphy film, Amazon MGM Studios said on Tuesday.
The incident occurred on the set of “The Pickup,” an upcoming comedy heist movie Saturday as an action sequence was being filmed.
A spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, the sequence did not go as planned and several members of the crew were injured as a result.”
He further said the studio is “still in the process of gathering facts on what happened and why”.
The movie stars Murphy, Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson.
But the Saturday’s incident affected the movie’s second unit — an industry term for filming away from the main production.
Second units are often assigned with shooting stunt and other dangerous scenes, and do not usually involve star actors.
According to Hollywood trade website Deadline, the incident occurred at a set in Atlanta, Georgia.
