Following an on-set mishap in Atlanta, it has been reported that production on Eddie Murphy and Keke Palmer's forthcoming film The Pickup has stopped. While filming sequences in Atlanta, Eddie Murphy, and Keke Palmer were involved in an accident that resulted in many injuries to crew members. As a result, several members of the film team were hospitalized. According to Amazon, the event happened during the production of an "action sequence" for the next movie, The Pickup. According to reports, the incident occurred last Saturday, when Eddie and Keke were seen filming scenes in Atlanta.
According to a spokesman, production has now stopped while managers continue "gathering facts". Eddie Murphy and Keke Palmer co-star in the movie. Sadly, the process did not proceed as intended, and as a result, some crew members suffered injuries. First and foremost, our thoughts are with the individuals who are recuperating. "The well-being of the entire crew and cast is our priority, and we will continue to insist on the highest industry standards of safety while filming," an Amazon spokesperson stated. "We are still gathering facts on what happened and why."
"Reviewed before and monitored during the shoot" was the statement they made on all safety procedures. According to the AP, the event on Tuesday featured a car accident in which a truck "locked up" and collided with another vehicle. An unnamed individual described the incident as "a completely freak accident." They said that two crew members were transported to the hospital and that one was still being observed by physicians on Tuesday, indicating that they informed the agency the prank was not very risky. According to the insider, injuries "ranged from bumps and bruises" to "broken bones,".
Additionally, a spokesman for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees said, "IATSE is aware of an accident that took place on the Georgia set of The Pickup and has started an inquiry," the publication said. Little is known about The Pickup; Deadline describes it as a "heist comedy," but other than that, not much is known. Tim Story, who helmed Fantastic Four and Ride Along, is also directing the film, which also stars Pete Davidson and Eva Longoria.
