11 zombies suffer two-storey fall

What's going on with zombie films? First the set of World War Z is raided by Hungarian SWAT to confiscate live-firing weapons, now 11 actors have been injured on the set of Resident Evil: Retribution .

In fact, all 11 actors were dressed as zombies and true to form it takes a lot of damage to stop them - only relatively minor injuries were recorded by the paramedics and several actors went back to work the same day.

Davis Films confirmed that the accident happened when a platform separated from the set, creating a gap that the actors fell through.
