There was quite the commotion on the set of Eddie Murphy's latest project, causing quite a stir among fans and industry professionals alike. It all started with what was being described as a "freak accident" during the filming of his upcoming movie, which also stars the talented Keke Palmer and a star-studded cast.
Thankfully, Deadline has reported that Murphy, Palmer, and the rest of the main cast members are all safe and sound following the incident on Saturday, April 20th in Atlanta. However, the same cannot be said for some of the crew members, who unfortunately suffered injuries ranging from bumps and bruises to broken bones.
According to a representative from Amazon MGM Studios, the accident occurred during a rehearsed action sequence for the film's second unit. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, leading to the unexpected injuries. "It wasn't even a complicated or dangerous stunt," an insider revealed.
The cause of the accident was said to be an armored truck that got "locked up" and ended up colliding with an SUV. The New York Times even obtained cell phone footage of the incident, which showed the two vehicles being sent off the road and flipping over in a grassy area. In the video, a person's body can be seen hanging out of the armored truck's door.
In light of the incident, the Amazon Studios rep stated that they are currently gathering all the facts to determine what exactly happened and why. They also made it clear that the well-being of the cast and crew is their top priority, and they will continue to enforce the highest safety standards during filming. Before the shoot and throughout it, all necessary precautions were taken and monitored.
The movie, titled The Pickup, has been keeping Murphy and Palmer busy as they film for Amazon Studios. Along with Pete Davidson, Eva Longoria, Andrew Dice Clay, and Marshawn Lynch, they have been working on the Tim Story-directed film, which follows a man on a heist attempt as he simultaneously tries to win over a woman's heart. We can only hope that there are no more accidents on set and that everyone involved stays safe and healthy.
