Crewmember Electrocuted On Set of the Motley Crue Biopic ‘The Dirt’

Date:

A crewmember was electrocuted on the set of the Motley Crue biopic The Dirt in New Orleans, Louisiana.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a crew member working on the New Orleans set of the Motley Crue biopic The Dirt was electrocuted on Saturday.

The person has not been named and is a member of the off-set rigging crew and was de-rigging a set. The man is currently in the hospital and is expected to recover.

“Even though all of our safety protocols were in place, an accident did occur and a crewmember was injured by electricity,” the rep said.

This news comes after the Louisiana Film Commission posted a hiring notice for crew workers to work on the movie last month and an open casting call for background actors to work on the production just last week.

The Dirt, the movie based on the tell-all autobiography by Motley Crue, is on the fast track to happen. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly has been cast as drummer Tommy Lee. English actor Douglas Booth has been cast as bassist Nikki Sixx. Game of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon, who played the villainous Ramsay Bolton, is in talks to join the cast as guitarist Mick Mars. Daniel Webber, who you may remember from The Punisher is in talks to play Vince Neil.
