The set of an Amazon MGM flick with some major star power was evacuated … after a shooting in Los Angeles during a watch party for a World Cup game … TMZ has learned.
Here’s the deal … one person was shot, and a suspect was arrested at a large watch party for the game between Mexico and South Korea. The party was in Koreatown near the “Tyrant” set, a thriller starring Charlize Theron, Julia Garner, Demi Moore, and Hudson Williams.
A source close to production tells TMZ … the set was not evacuated by LAPD … but crew and cast — which included some of those big stars — were sent home by production as a precautionary measure.
It proved to be a wise decision … because after the game — which Mexico won 1-0 — police issued a city-wide tactical alert … allowing more officers to respond to Koreatown to assist with crowd control.
As for “Tyrant” deets … we don’t know much about the project yet … other than it’s written and helmed by David Weil in his feature directorial debut.
