Crew Member Dies on Jumper Set
A crew member working on the Hayden Christensen movie, Jumper, has been killed on set after a freak accident.
David Ritchie, a 56-year-old set dresser, was working on the Toronto set when a large piece of set design composed of sand and earth came loose off an exterior wall, instantly crushing him.
A spokesperson for the film released a statement, professing “profound sadness” over the accident, and saying “our thoughts and prayers go out to David Ritchie’s family at this time.”
Hayden Christensen and his co-star, Samuel L. Jackson, were not on the set at the time of the accident, having re-located to shoot some scenes in Tokyo a few days earlier.
