TO UPDATE: More details are emerging about the “medical incident” that occurred tonight at a Sudance Film Festival screening.
“It looks like there’s been some wires crossed on the walkie-talkies about what actually happened,” a local law enforcement official told UKTN. “But no baby will be born tonight from the Divinity screen.”
Contrary to previous reports, no woman gave birth during a screening Divinity at the Egyptian Theater on Main Street. Instead, a gentleman had some kind of attack problem and quickly left the theater. The screening of the NEXT category film was not interrupted, we were told.
Although medics were called and promptly arrived, the man in question left alone, we are now told.
Divinity is written and directed by Eddie Alcazar. Steven Soderbergh is a producer. With Stephen Dorff, Moises Arias, Jason Genao, Karrueche Tran, Bella Thorne and Scott Bakula.
EARLY, 10:10 PM MST: In a festival of world premieres galore, Sundance may have had its best debut ever tonight.
During a screening of Divinity at the Egyptian Theater on Main Street in Park City, a woman went into labor during the film. She was hurriedly taken away by paramedics after a swift action by theater security. The woman is on her way to a local Park City hospital, we hear.
The science fiction film, written and directed by Eddie Alcazar, is part of the NEXT section of the festival.
Initially, it appeared the woman had a seizure in her seat, according to what police told UKTN.
