stunt driver Crashes F430 in NY times square during movie shoot for Nick Cage film

This may be a dumb question but was it a part of the movie or was he being an idiot? LOL

It was part of the movie.

This is hilarious, what movie is this.

Nicolas Cage's latest movie is already a smash hit in New York. And that's bad news.

A car chase stunt sequence for the Oscar winner's new flick, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, went awry last night in Times Square, with a vehicle careening into a pizza parlor and injuring two bystanders.

The accident occurred around 1 a.m. as a Ferrari darted down Seventh Avenue to keep pace with a Mercedes, whose stunt driver apparently lost control and ended up plowing into the entrance of a Sbarro.

Although the street had been closed for filming, plenty of pedestrians were watching the action unfold—some too close for comfort...

"The Ferrarri took a sharp right to the left and lost it, swerving across the lanes, taking out a lamppost and a newsstand," British tourist Mark Watkins, who was stationed atop bleachers at the new TKTS booth, told the New York Post,. "One lady was knocked to the ground and a lamppost landed directly on top of a chap."

One of those victims was an onlooker. It's unclear whether the other person was affiliated with the production. Both were taken to a hospital and reportedly treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

A rep for the New York City Film Commission confirmed the crash, but did not have any additional information. No word whether Cage was on set at the time of the mishap.

Disney's Sorcerer's Apprentice puts a live-action spin on the Mouse House's classic cartoon segment from Fantasia. Reuniting with his National Treasure director, Jon Turteltaub, the 45-year-old Cage plays a wizard who leaves his workshop in the hands of a college student. It's slated to be released next summer.

doesn't look that bad
that light pole is so fragile? ouch for that guy that got owned by the street pole.

yeah, I thought the car didn't even hit the pole?

we need the vid back

saw it on the news this morning, a pole landed on a bystander, and supposedly someone was hit by the ferrari too

awwwwwwwww. guess it can happen to be best of drivers

lol hahaha that innocent guy is now under a pole lol looked like a really big KO hit

i thought most studios use CGI for action/car chase scenes in busy places such as Times Square?

whats that other movie where the woman drove a lambo into a statue. It was a chick flick for sure but i cant remember the name.

but its sad to see exotics get wrecked in movies.......
