A 28-year-old Hungarian man working on the Blade Runner sequel's set died Thursday in Budapest after a platform collapsed on him, according to a report from People.

The movie, which stars Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto, is being filmed on location. 

"The worker was underneath a platform, upon which the set was constructed, when it suddenly collapsed," read a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter by local studio Origo. "The cause of the accident is not yet known." 

Per THR, the worker, whose name has not yet been released, was dismantling a set after production had moved to a different city. According to the same report, an investigation is ongoing.

A representative for Origo Studios and a former publicist of director Denis Villeneuve did not respond for Complex's request for comment.

The movie is slated for release in October 2017.
