During an international filming location for VIVANT, a popular Japanese show, an unexpected tragedy occurred as their local driver passed away. The details of the incident, including the cause of death and the impact it has had on the production team, are currently under investigation. The incident has significantly disrupted the film shoot, raising concerns over safety procedures during such international endeavors.
In Japan, the safety of staff members during on-location filming for shows and movies is taken very seriously. Such incidents, especially when they occur overseas, create high concern among the public and the media. In many cases, there are rigorous investigations and the organization involved may need to take accountability and present an action plan to prevent future occurrences, with a focus on the safety of staff members.
In the US or EU, the response to such incidents would be similar. There would be an investigation into the incident, with organizations potentially facing consequences if found to be negligent. The safety of staff members is also a key concern in these parts of the world, with measures taken to ensure no similar incidents occur again.
