Michael Mann hospitalized after being accidentally shot in the leg - USA Today

Oscar-nominated director Michael Mann was reportedly hospitalized after being injured at a Los Angeles gun range.

"On Saturday, at a gun range, a weapon accidentally discharged while holstered resulting in a superficial injury to film director Michael Mann," his representative said in a statement to USA TODAY on Sunday, Nov. 1.

The rep specified that the injury was in the 83-year-old "Heat" and "Miami Vice" director's leg and added that "he was treated and is being released."

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY that around 4 p.m. on Oct. 31 officers responded to the 11000 block of Missouri Avenue – where members-only shooting club The Range LA is located – for a radio call of shots fired. An investigation found the shooting to be accidental.

The "subject," whom the LAPD did not identify, "was transported to a local hospital in stable condition."

Mann earned best director and best picture nominations at the 2000 Academy Awards for "The Insider" and also received a best picture nod for "The Aviator," Martin Scorsese's biographical drama about Howard Hughes, which Mann produced.

Mann's follow-up to 2023's "Ferrari" will be "Heat 2," based on the 2022 novel he wrote as both a prequel and sequel to his 1995 film starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

Mann also won Emmys for "The Jericho Mile" and "Drug Wars: The Camarena Story." The first season of "Miami Vice" – which he executive produced from 1984 to 1990 before adapting it into the 2006 movie starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx – was nominated in 1985.

"The Last of the Mohicans" director's eldest daughter from his first marriage, Ami Canaan Mann, is also a film and TV director with credits including "Texas Killing Fields," "House of Cards" and "Friday Night Lights." Michael Mann shares four daughters with his wife, Summer Mann.
