Michael Mann hospitalized after accidentally shooting his leg at a gun range
Heat 2 director Michael Mann was hospitalized after his gun accidentally discharged at a shooting range, causing a "subcutaneous and minor" wound, per his reps.
Film director Michael Mann is recovering after suffering a minor wound from accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a Los Angeles gun range on Saturday. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. while he was practicing target shooting at The Range LA, a sanctioned range. Mann's representatives confirmed the accident to Variety, stating that the injury was superficial and subcutaneous in nature.
Prior to the incident, Mann had described his preparation for the upcoming sequel to his 1995 crime drama, Heat, noting that he used live ammunition during training to ensure realism, including the firing of full-load blanks and recording of actual firearm sounds. It remains unclear whether Mann was at the range to prepare for the filming of Heat 2, with the movie's filming now set to begin in January, pushing back from its original November start date.
