LONDON -- A special effects technician has been killed in a crash during production of the latest Batman film, Warner Bros. said Tuesday.

The studio said the man, who was not identified, died when a truck carrying a camera platform crashed into a tree while following a stunt vehicle on Monday. Filming on the movie, "The Dark Knight," was not taking place at the time, and no actors were involved in the accident.

The accident took place during a test run at a racetrack near Chertsey, south of London.

The studio said producers, cast and crew "are deeply saddened by this tragedy and their hearts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased."

Britain's Health and Safety Executive said it was investigating the accident.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, "The Dark Knight" stars Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader and Heath Ledger as his nemesis the Joker. It's scheduled for release next year.

Is the Batman franchise going to have a curse a-la Poltergeist?

It wasn't a big suprise that eventually Christian Bale's acting would kill someone, now was it?

Wow,

I've always thought he was pretty good.

He was really good in 3:10 to Yuma, he was good in Batman, and really really good in the Prestige.

To each his own..

I'm not a big fan of his but The Prestige was a great movie and he was great in it.

IMO, he should be considered for an oscar for 3:10 to Yuma, but thats just me.

I agree, the Prestige was a great movie, and he was great in it. Jackman was great too.

Johannsen had way too small a part.

But she was good in it!
I like Jackman too.
It really was a good movie.

I haven't seen 3:10 to Yuma, it's on my list.

I think 1369 means that Bale is such a good actor that it killed the guy.
