A special effects technician has died while testing a stunt for new Batman movie The Dark Knight.
The man was killed when a lorry carrying a camera platform hit a tree as it followed a stunt vehicle near Chertsey, Surrey.
A representative of studio Warner Bros said: "Warner Bros Pictures and the entire cast and crew of Batman: The Dark Knight are deeply saddened by this tragedy and their hearts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased."
Police and health and safety inspectors have launched a joint investigation into the incident.
The movie - which stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and Maggie Gyllenhaal - was not filming at the time.
