James Hunter, a background actor suing actress Mia Goth for allegedly kicking him in the head while filming a scene in the horror film MaXXXine, tells The Daily Beast he’s now in a battle with A24, the film’s production company and distributor, over raw footage of the film he says may confirm the incident.
Hunter, whose lawsuit claims the alleged kick caused him “disorientation, vertigo, migraines, nightmares, and severe emotional distress,” tells The Daily Beast that he believes A24 is effectively “suppressing evidence.”
“They’re refusing to release the unedited footage to us so that we can look at it and see which tape [shows when] this actually happened,” the actor says in an exclusive interview. Hunter’s suit also names A24 and director Ti West and was filed in January of this year ahead of the film’s release earlier this month.
