Batgirl film extra Cristina Stanovici has decided to sue Warner Bros. for the life-threatening injuries she suffered while filming a scene for the scrapped project. Stanovici was hit by a motorbike on the film’s Glasgow set.
In her recent interview with The Sun, Stanovici revealed that her injuries included a broken hip, shin, thigh, thumb, pelvis, and a head gash. The horrifying accident took place during a night scene being filmed in the city. She was playing a bystander in the film when she got hit by a speedy camera-carrying motorbike.
This is what Stanovici told the newspaper:
“It hit me from the right side and I went flying in the air. I started screaming to the attention of the paramedics as I remembered seeing an ambulance on site in the previous days.”
The female extra remained in intensive care for nearly three days. More than 17 months have passed since the accident, still, she is in too much pain. She also has a rod in her leg.
Stanovici has decided to sue WB after consulting with a legal firm.
Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav scrapped Batgirl after the film received a poor response in the test screenings. The film was made on a heavy budget of $90 million. It had Leslie Grace, Brendan Fraser, and Michael Keaton in the cast. Stay tuned for more updates.
