It was a sad day Friday for Tom Cruise’s upcoming movie “Mena.” After reportedly hitting rough weather, a small plane assigned to the crew of the film crashed near the set in the Colombian Andes, leaving two dead and injuring a third person. Colombia’s civilian aviation authority confirmed the news to The Associated Press. Cruise was reportedly not on the plane.

The victims were reportedly identified as Colombian Carlos Berl and Los Angeles-based film pilot Alan Purwin, whose credits include work on “Pearl Harbor,” “Furious 7” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” A third person, Jimmy Lee Garland, was taken to the hospital and put in intensive care.

Universal Pictures released a statement saying, “On behalf of the production, our hearts and prayers go out to the crew members and their families at this difficult time.”

The movie follows Cruise as pilot Barry Seal, a drug runner for Pablo Escobar who was later recruited to provide intelligence.

Reps for Universal Pictures and Cruise could not immediately be reached for comment.
