Film Set Tragedy: Crew Members Hurt in Eddie Murphy Shoot

Amidst the filming of The Pickup, a cinematic work by Eddie Murphy under the Amazon MGM Studios’ banner, an unfortunate collision between an automobile and a freight truck occurred, leading to injuries for multiple crew members. Sources from both the studio and the production team disclosed that several individuals suffered injuries, with two requiring hospitalization due to the severity of their wounds. The incident transpired during a scheduled scene on Saturday in Georgia, a moment that was meticulously rehearsed with all necessary safety measures in place. Notably, neither Murphy nor other prominent cast members, such as Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson, were present during this distressing event.

Reports indicate a spectrum of injuries, ranging from minor scratches and bruises to more severe cases of broken bones. A confidential source from the set disclosed that two crew members were promptly transported to the hospital, with one expected to remain under medical care until Tuesday. However, all affected individuals are anticipated to make a full recovery in due time. The collision occurred when a truck malfunctioned, leading to an unexpected impact with an automobile just outside of Atlanta.

The individual providing details opted to remain anonymous, citing restrictions on public statements. They emphasized that the incident was entirely unforeseen, devoid of any intricate or perilous stunt work. The sequence in question was being captured by a secondary unit, responsible for filming less critical scenes that do not feature the principal director or lead actors. Regrettably, the sequence did not unfold as planned, resulting in injuries to several crew members.

“We are presently gathering details to ascertain the cause and circumstances surrounding the incident. Our primary concern is for the well-being and recovery of those affected,” stated a representative from the studio. Specifics regarding the injuries sustained by the crew members were not disclosed by the studio. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, a union representing a significant portion of film crew personnel, issued a statement acknowledging the tragic event and confirming an ongoing investigation, though immediate details were not available.

The director of The Pickup, Tim Story, known for his work on films such as Barbershop (2002) and Fantastic Four (2005), is at the helm of this project. Filming has been ongoing in various locations in and around Atlanta since February 20. While the release date remains undetermined, it is unlikely that the accident will cause a significant delay in production.
