25 Apr - Several crew members were injured in a recent accident that occurred on the set of Eddie Murphy's new movie, "The Pickup".

The incident reportedly happened on 20 April, when a second unit action sequence that had previously been rehearsed didn't go as planned when it was executed on location in Atlanta.

A spokesperson from Amazon MGM Studios stated, "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. The well-being of the entire crew and cast is our first priority, and we will continue to insist on the highest industry standards of safety while filming."

"All safety precautions were reviewed prior to and monitored during the shoot," the rep added.
