Two
actors working on a new Netflix series were killed and six others injured in
Mexico when their van crashed, reports USA Today. The men killed were identified as
Raymundo Garduño Cruz and Juan Francisco González Aguilar, though Aguilar is
known professionally as Paco Mufote, per People.
They
were working on The Chosen One, an upcoming series for the
streaming network. Local reports say the van went off the road and flipped in a
desert area near Mulege on the Baja California Sur peninsula as it was carrying
the actors and crew from Santa Rosalia, where they had been filming, to a local
airport, per those two outlets and the AP.
Details about the six people injured were not immediately available, and
production company Redrum says work on the series is on hold. As the
investigation into what happened unfolds, colleagues already are suggesting
that the van driver may have been overworked.
Actor
Fernando Bonilla, a friend of Cruz, tweeted that "many film and
television productions have drivers overexploited" and demanded that the
workload of this particular driver be revealed, notes People.
Liliana
Conlisk Gallegos, a friend of Mufote, expressed a similar sentiment to the Daily Beast.“It fills me with rage that there
are reports of abuse and exploitation being shared by people involved with the
production,” she said.
“I
would like to demand that this is further investigated. If nothing wrong was
going on, then there shouldn’t be an issue with providing the information.” The
Netflix description for The Chosen One: “A 12-year-old boy learns he’s the
returned Jesus Christ, destined to save humankind.
Based
on the comic book series by Mark Millar and Peter Gross.”
