Gulf Weekly Stage collapse injures 16 during zombie movie filming

Zombies are not the only safety hazard for the cast and crew of the Resident Evil franchise. Sixteen people were injured during filming after a stage collapse resulting in 10 people being hospitalised.

The latest instalment of the horror franchise, Resident Evil: Retribution, is currently being filmed in Canada.

A statement from the Toronto police said that a wheeled platform accidentally shifted while actors were moving from one side of the stage to the other. The platform subsequently collapsed, injuring the various individuals present.

In July, Jovovich admitted to suffering nightmares about zombies since she began staring in the franchise. She also revealed that there will be a huge surprise about the origin of her character Alice in the upcoming movie.

Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil: Retribution stars Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and Michelle Rodriguez and is set for release in September next year.
