Female extra Gabriella Cedillo, 24, seriously hurt in Transformers 3 accident
September 17, 2010
I wonder what sort of waivers the extras have to sign and whether or not any of the waivers they do sing can withstand scrutiny in Court.
A 24-year-old woman suffered a serious head injury during the filming of a car stunt at a “Transformers 3” shoot in northwest Indiana one day before filming was supposed to conclude in the Chicago area.Gabriela Cedillo of Chicago was injured on the set Wednesday around 7 p.m. along a stretch of Cline Avenue, which was closed to traffic for filming, in East Chicago. She is in critical condition, according to published reports, but the hospital will not comment on her condition.A stunt was apparently being performed during filming when Cedillo, who is not a stuntman, was hurt.
Hi, very good blog.
I think there will definitely be liability on the part of the movie company. Remember strict liability when it comes down to doing dangerous stuff…
