A stunt accident on the set of the Gladiator sequel in Morocco left several crew members hurt.
The injuries occurred while filming a planned stunt sequence, according to Paramount Pictures, the movie's production company, and were not life-threatening.
The statement stated that the crew members were "all in stable condition and are still being treated.".
The Sun earlier this week reported that an explosion had occurred and that six people had been taken to the hospital.
The crew members were caught in the path of a large ball of fire, which was terrifying to witness. I've been filming for years, and I've never seen an accident as terrifying," the source told the newspaper.
They continued, "Everyone involved, from the smallest runners to the star names, has been shaken up by this.".
A Paramount Pictures representative issued the following statement: "The safety and full medical services teams on-site were able to act quickly so that those who were impacted immediately received necessary care. " .
They declared that they would take "all necessary precautions as we resume production" and that they have "strict health and safety procedures in place on all our productions.".
Variety reports that none of the actors were hurt while six people needed burn treatment and four are still in the hospital.
The sequel, set for release in November 2024, will once again be helmed by Sir Ridley Scott, who also helmed the historical drama film's original 2000 version.
The sequel, starring Paul Mescal from Normal People, Denzel Washington, and Connie Nielson, has no title as of yet.
The original movie garnered five Oscars, including the best actor award for Russell Crowe, who starred alongside Joaquin Phoenix as Emperor Commodus as the Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius.
Maximus begins the film as a war hero before being coerced into becoming a gladiator; the story is set at the height of the Roman Empire.
Gladiator's $457 million (£355 million) worldwide gross helped bring back the historical epic drama genre, which had fallen out of favor for many years.
