It seems that sometimes the movies are more real than many people realize. According to Warner Bros. Pictures, during the filming of "The Dark Knight" a crew member was killed during one of the action packed stunt scenes. This movie is staring Christian Bale, who was not present during the accident. The movie is due to be release on July 18, 2008, but it does make you wonder if the movies are just becoming a little too real.

Obviously everyone knows that when it comes to action packed movies it really is all about the special affects. Without them you would just not have the impact that the fans want to see. Take "Transformers" for example. Everyone loved this movie mostly because of all the special affects and the stunts that were included. If you have never had the opportunity to observe how the special affects and stunts are done, you will be surprised at the risk that some of these specialists and stunt men take. Of course they all seem to love what they do and they are professionals. They have all been highly trained in how to handle the special affects, and how to properly execute a stunt. This is not the first time that someone has been killed on a movie set, and it will probably not be the last.

An interesting article, and it does make a good point. Like the above commentator, I also thought of The Crow when reading it. May I make a suggestion about the writing? I noticed a fair amount of grammar and spelling errors that lessen its readability somewhat. For example, in the first paragraph, one of the sentences reads: "This movie is staring Christian Bale, who was not present during the accident." I know what you meant to say, but it's hard to get past some of the mistakes. What I usually do, before I post, is I have someone else (like a friend) read it over and make suggestions. If no one's available, I read it to myself and say, "Does this sound right?" I hope this was helpful...and I don't want to come across snobby. Keep up the good work.

people die on other jobs too. factories construction sites what's the difference? are we gonna say fire factory workers and replace them with robots and hurt the economy? no this would just put stuntmen out of a job plus its their passion and they wouldn't be doing it if the didn't want to.

The guy died during a test run for the action sequence. It was an accident that was, comparatively, unrelated to the actual shooting of the picture.

I think it would be totally inappropriate to NOT dedicate this movie to the stunt man who died. Movies are done in memory of those who die in the movie crew all of the time. That is the minimal amount of sensitivity the movie producers should offer the man's family, if they approve of the idea.

Unfortunately this is nothing new, while reading this the movie The Crow came to mind, my heart goes out to the family of the man who died.
