In the weirdest headline you’ll read all week, this is at least three different types of messed up.<\/p>\n

Ready? Here we go: A crew member was stabbed in the neck on the England set of the\u00a0The Witches<\/em> remake, starring Anne Hathaway,\u00a0Variety<\/a> reports. The incident happened at Warner Bros. Studios’ stages located in\u00a0Leavesden, Hertfordshire.<\/p>\n

The confrontation was between two male co-workers. The victim was quickly hospitalized; their alleged male attacker was also arrested. In a statement released by the\u00a0Hertfordshire Constabulary, the two men in question were acquaintances that knew each other. Deadline<\/a> reports that “the suspect has been released on bond and his due in court on July 17.”<\/p>\n

The altercation was reportedly between a rigger and a stagehand on the Robert Zemeckis-directed film. While\u00a0The Daily Mail<\/em> claims that there were roughly 100 witness to the attack, it is still unclear if any of the film’s cast members — including Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, or Stanley Tucci — saw the stabbing. That’s it. That’s all we know. But we have so many questions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Witches<\/em>‘ production has largely flown under the radar, as Zemeckis executes a 1960s-set take on Roald Dahl’s 1983 children’s book. The original 1990 film, directed by the late Nicolas Roeg, was a dark fantasy comedy that centered on a young boy and his grandmother struggling to stop Angelica Huston and her brood of evil witches wearing human skin suits.<\/p>\n

The remake is slated for release on October 16, 2020. Let’s hope no one else feels stabby in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
