Elliot Page reveals that he suffered through dangerous and extremely reckless work conditions while filming the 2017 reboot of 1990's Flatliners.
Umbrella Academy star Elliot Page is opening up about the unsafe working environment he experienced on the set of Flatliners. The film serves as a sequel and reboot to the 1997 movie and tells the story of a cast of medical students working to recreate near-death experiences. The project was a relatively comfortable success, bringing in $45 million on a $19 million budget.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "We were getting ready for a car stunt when Kiersey and I realized that everyone had a built-in thick seat belt, except for us. No restraints, a basic safety measure of the carefully orchestrated, expensive, and elaborate stunt that hadn't been thought through… We looked to the various stunt crew members strapping the others in, perplexed, questioning why we weren't being secured for the scene.
Elliot Page's Experience With Flatliners Page's horrifying experience with Flatliners didn't end with a lack of seatbelts and an attempt to report the alleged behavior. He also reports that he was expected to wear a dress and heals on set, despite playing a medical student with no reason to do so. It isn't the first time that he has been forced to deal with those issues, as he was also compelled to wear a dress on the red carpet for Juno.
