Last month, many members of the team spoke out against the development of the film, which is being made by Ben Shapiro’s media company. They mentioned that safety measures are not followed on the set and that there have been many incidents. “Multiple employees confirmed incidents involving props falling on the crew, including a rigged tree branch that struck the rig’s medic,” the report states.
