Several crew members filming the Gladiator sequel in Morocco have been injured in a stunt accident on set.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s production company Paramount Pictures said the injuries were non-life-threatening and happened while shooting a planned stunt sequence.<\/p>\n
The crew members were \u201call in stable condition and continue to receive treatment\u201d, the statement said.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week,\u00a0the Sun reported\u00a0there had been an explosion and six people went to the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was terrifying \u2013 a huge ball of fire flew up and caught several crew members in its path. In years of filming I\u2019ve never seen an accident so scary,\u201d a source told the newspaper.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone involved, from the lowliest runners to the star names, has been shaken up by this,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n
In a statement, a Paramount Pictures spokesperson said: \u201cThe safety and full medical services teams on-site were able to act quickly so that those who were impacted immediately received the necessary care.\u201d<\/p>\n
They said it has \u201cstrict health and safety procedures in place on all our productions\u201d and would take \u201call necessary precautions as we resume production\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to Variety,\u00a0no cast members were injured but six people received treatment for burn injuries and four remain in hospital.<\/p>\n
Sir Ridley Scott, who directed the original 2000 historical drama film, is returning to direct the second installment, which is scheduled to be released in November 2024.<\/p>\n
No title has yet been announced for the sequel, which stars Normal People actor Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Connie Nielson.<\/p>\n
The original film won five Oscars, including best actor for Russell Crowe, who played Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius alongside Joaquin Phoenix as Emperor Commodus.<\/p>\n
The movie, set during the height of the Roman Empire, sees Maximus start out as a war hero before being forced to become a gladiator.<\/p>\n
Gladiator made $457m (\u00a3355m) at the box office and revived the historical epic drama genre, which had been out of fashion for decades.<\/p>\n
