A special effects technician working on the new Batman: The Dark Knight film was killed when a vehicle he was in crashed while on a stunt test run.
The accident happened off-set and there was no filming taking place, movie company Warner Bros Pictures said.
The victim was on a camera truck which was following a stunt vehicle, believed to have been the Batmobile.
An ambulance spokeswoman said he was pronounced dead at a test track in Longcross, near Chertsey, in Surrey, UK.
The accident, just before 1450 BST on Monday Sept. 24, is being investigated by Surrey Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The HSE confirmed two vehicles were on a "filming production exercise".
A spokesman said: "It appears one vehicle was undertaking some stunt driving and another 4x4 provided the camera platform.
"The second vehicle and a camera operator were involved in a collision with a tree."
