Stuntman Dies On The Set Of New Batman Film

Filed under: Film Flickers

Filming took a tragic turn on the set of The Dark Knight in the UK on Tuesday when a special effects technician died after a horrible accident.

A special effects technician on the new Batman movie has been killed after a 4×4 truck hit a tree.

The man died when the vehicle, which was carrying a camera platform, crashed on a test run while following a stunt vehicle, which is thought to have been the Batmobile.

A spokesperson for the film released the following statement:

"The entire cast and crew of The Dark Knight are deeply saddened by this tragedy and their hearts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased."

Bummer.

Do you think you ignorant idiots can put aside the "first" and "second" bullshit for a minute? Especially for a post like this? Show a little respect and tact for once in your life.

This is confusing. A stuntman is not a "special effects technician"…
It's bad enough the dead guy doesn't have a name, but if we don't even know what he did…

this post would have been so much more sincere if you left off the last line, perez

Perez, you actually wrote "bummer" in response to a person's untimely death. You truly are reprabate aren't you?

Yikes, I actually read this on another entertainment site quite a while before you posted it……You're slacking Perez, my little bitch.
kaya says – reply to this

Perez:
Your comment on this even is "bummer"? What a cavalier statement to make about a human life.
mofo68 says – reply to this

46

"The deceased"?! They didn't even bother mentioning the name of the guy. And it sounds like a generic statement. Man, Hollywood is just plain cold sometimes. Brrr!

Cmon Perez, show a little more respect besides saying 'bummer.'

I'm disgusted by how many of you left comments that had nothing to do with the tragedy of someone dying on the set of a film. You should be ashamed of yourselves! there's a family out there now without a son, without a friend. many of you need to show a little more respect. Your own familes would be mortified if they saw how you reacted to another family's loss

This better not slow the movie down!!!!
Tiffany says – reply to this

51

Maybe the next time someone dies you can think of a little more to say than "bummer". Aren't you guys supposed to be good at writing? Your lack of empathy will come back to haunt you.
Stunt Girl says – reply to this

52

Thansk so much for posting this. You always here when an actor gets a paper cut but you never hear reporting on other people who get seriously injured or even lose their life while filiming a movie.

I'm supposed to buy a movie ticket when Batman can't even rescue a stunt man?!?!?
Mel says – reply to this

59

Why aren't leaders concerned with safety?
What kind of owner, manager, director, (fill in the blank) can have a clear conscience after this?
Hazardous workplace???
Why is it ok to endanger the lives of the average man so that some bigwig can make money?
All the deceased of unnecessary workplace accidents rest in peace.

You disgust me, Perez says – reply to this

82

Perez You are an asshole, just a straight up mean asshole. If you want to pretend to actually report 'news' we don't need your bitchy, rude comments at the end of an article reporting someone's death. Have some respect for this poor man's family.
Your a wanker, Perez says – reply to this

83

Wow, you really suck Perez. P.S. Get a stylish, you look fucking ridiculous, no wonder you haven't been laid in so long. P.P.S If you have been laid, it was undoubtedly with someone more unattractive than yourself. Ew, I just puked up in my mouth a little bit.
