[quote] A BRITISH jury on Monday cleared an Oscar-winning special effects supervisor over the death of a cameraman during the making of Batman: The Dark Knight.
New Zealand-born Conway Wickliffe, 41, was killed when a vehicle he was filming from struck a tree during a test run for an action sequence near Chertsey, west of London, in Sept. 2007.
The jury at Guildford Crown Court took less than two hours to unanimously find Christopher Corbould, 53, not guilty of failing to ensure Wickliffe's safety. Corbould looked relieved and could be heard breathing a sigh of relief as jurors returned their verdict clearing him of health and safety breaches.
Corbould's lawyer Chris Humphreys said the special effects supervisor and his family were 'tremendously happy with the decision of the jury.'
'We always thought from the beginning that this was an ill-conceived and misguided prosecution,' Humphreys said outside the court. 'World class actors do not put their livelihoods and well-being in the hands of people that don't put their health and safety first.'
Corbould - who won an Oscar for his visual effects work on Inception - had said he had followed safety procedures correctly and informed staff, including Wickliffe, of every detail of the stunt. 'I would never put someone in the position where they didn't know every single detail of what's going on. That's inconceivable,' Corbould told the court. [/quote]

They should have at least put that at the beginning of the movie instead of the credits that no one watches.

If no one watches the credits, doesn't that mean no one will watch the movie because they are in the beginning.
