An accident on the Toronto set of Resident Evil: Retribution early Tuesday morning has injured several background actors and sent 11 of them to the hospital, sparking an investigation by the Ontario Ministry of Labour. The mishap occurred at Toronto’s Cinespace Film Studios facility at 8:35 a.m., and involved a four-foot high platform shifting position, leaving a gap into which the actors fell. Since the actors were reportedly dressed as zombies, paramedics could not tell at first which of them were actually injured or merely in character.
According to the film’s unit publicist, Karen Pidgurski, none of the injuries were life-threatening.
