Director Randall Miller is hoping to move forward with his biopic of singer-songwriter Gregg Allman, despite the death of a crew member on a railway track in February, according to Deadline.
Filming of Midnight Rider was suspended when camera assistant Sarah Jones was killed after being hit by flying debris on 20 February during a shoot in Jesup, Georgia. According to reports, the train hit a bed that had been placed on the track as part of a dream sequence featuring the film’s star, William Hurt, as Allman. Hurt was among those who escaped from the set unharmed, but Jones was subsequently knocked beneath the vehicle as the crew scrambled clear.
