"A stuntman was killed and six others injured in a fire while shooting an action scene in director John Woo's Chinese historical epic "Red Cliff," the film's crew and Chinese media said Tuesday.
The accident occurred Monday morning while filming an action sequence in Beijing, the crew said in a statement.
A small boat was set ablaze and collided with a larger boat as the filmmakers had intended, but the fire quickly raged out of control and engulfed both ships.
The person killed was a 23-year-old stuntman, the Beijing News reported, citing a local fire commander."
The movie has a huge $80 million budget and is being pushed by the China Film Group to be released before the Beijing Olympics, as it depicts an important part of Chinese history.
