‘Darkroom’ Fight Scene Gets Too Real
“Gossip Girl” star Kaylee Defer and actor Steve Stanulis suffered a number of injuries after a fight scene for their new movie got out of hand, reports Contact Music.
The pair was filming upcoming horror Darkroom, which also stars “Law & Order”‘s Elizabeth Rohm, at a bar on Staten Island, New York on Thursday night (June, 29, 2011) in scenes which show their characters embroiled in a brawl with club bouncers.
However, the fake fight didn’t run smoothly – DeFer was left with bruised ribs and Stanulis had a twisted knee, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.
The stars carried on and re-filmed the scene before seeking medical treatment.
In the film DeFer plays Michelle, whom takes a job recommended by her counselor that lands her trapped in a mansion with three psychotic siblings hell bent on purging Michelle of her sins.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
