Famed director accidentally shoots himself in the leg
Hollywood director Michael Mann, 83, was injured by an accidental discharge during target practice at a Los Angeles shooting range.
Michael Mann, the renowned film director behind "Heat" and "Ferrari," was hospitalized on Saturday following an accidental shooting at a gun range in West Los Angeles. According to his representatives, who first reported the incident to TMZ, the "Heat" director suffered superficial injuries when his gun discharged while he was trying to holster it. Despite the accident, Mann has since been treated and released from the hospital.
The shooting incident occurred at 4 PM on Saturday at The Range L.A., a shooting facility near Sawtelle Japantown. The LAPD and medics responded to the scene and found Mann stable. The location of the shooting suggests that Mann, known for his experience in target shooting, may have been unprepared for the accident.
Mann's most recent film, "Ferrari," released in 2023, starred Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari and Penelope Cruz as his wife Laura. Currently, Mann is working on a sequel to his 1995 crime drama "Heat," which featured Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. The upcoming sequel will bring together Mann, Adam Driver, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Christian Bale in a new collaboration.
