In the same vein as what happened during filming of The Expendables 2, the film G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation suffered a tragic blow on the New Orleans set on November 22. Mike Huber, a local New Orleans resident, was tearing down a set, while using a scissor-lift. The scissor-lift somehow tipped over, and the crew member sustained fatal injuries resulting in the lost of life. Paramount Pictures released a statement after the on-set fatality:
No word has been released on whether production will be delayed due to this unfortunate event. G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation is still scheduled for release on July 29, 2012. The Jon Chu-directed action-adventure flick stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Channing Tatum, Elodie Yung, RZA, Adrianne Palicki, and Ray Stevenson.
