Gregg Allman Movie Filming Shut Down After Fatal Accident
. The incident took place on February 20, while the crew was shooting a sequence on railroad tracks, and is currently the subject of a homicide investigation. According to Variety, a spokesman for Rayonier, the paper company that owns the land surrounding the rail line at the site of the accident, confirmed that they had given permission for the film shoot to take place on its property. But even though a sign on the property states that access to the tracks is controlled by Rayonier guards, the paper company is not technically allowed to give permission for the crew to be on the tracks because they are owned by the railroad company CSX. The alternative weekly paper, Connect Savannah reports that Wayne County detective Joe Gardner said that the railroad claimed it did not give permission to shoot on the tracks, which means that the filmmakers were shooting there illegally. Filming on live railroad tracks typically requires strict permits from the railroad owner, which provides train schedules and re-routes trains ahead of time, if necessary. In addition, "spotters" with walkie-talkies are utilized to warn the crew if a train is approaching. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
