A stuntman is suing for injuries he sustained during the filming of the upcoming Ridley Scott film "Gladiator II." Edward Sarsfield claims he suffered "excruciating" burns after an explosion went awry during a scene that involved a burning ship.
The incident occurred during filming, though the exact date and location have not been specified in the legal filing. Sarsfield alleges that the production failed to take adequate safety precautions, leading to the accident that resulted in his injuries. He is seeking compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused by the alleged negligence.
