Justified: City Primeval had to shut down production after two cars engaged in a gunfight broke through the set's barricades.
Earlier this year, it was officially announced that FX would be reviving its fan-favorite series, Justified, with Timothy Olyphant returning to star. Justified: City Primeval is currently in production but had to shut down today after a gunfight broke out near the film's set. According to Deadline, production was halted in Chicago near Douglas Park after two cars engaged in a rolling gunfight broke through the set's barricades.
"The Chicago Police Department is committed to ensuring members of the city's vibrant film and television community are able to do their jobs safely.
This is the second shooting incident to affect a production within the last week. In Brooklyn, it was revealed that a crew member on set for Law & Order: Organized Crime was shot and killed."We were terribly saddened and shocked to hear that one of our crew members was the victim of a crime early this morning and has died as a result. We are working with local law enforcement as they continue to investigate.
As for Justified: City Primeval, the show is inspired by Elmore Leonard's novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit. Eight years after leaving Kentucky for Miami, Olyphant's U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is trying to help raise a teenager and contending with a changing world. However, down in Florida, he runs into Clement Mansell, who has some history with the Marshal.
"Justified was one of the most critically acclaimed shows of the past decade and an adaption of Elmore Leonard's work that was so colorfully brought to life by Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens, Graham Yost and the entire team of producers, writers, directors and cast," Eric Schrier, president of FX Entertainment, previously said in a statement."To have this group come together again with Tim as Raylan in a new and different Elmore Leonard story is thrilling.
