There was plenty of buzz heading into Saturday night’s world premiere of Eddie Alcazar’s Divinity at Park City’s Egyptian Theatre, and by the time the screening ended, there were flashing red lights on the scene as well.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that a “medical incident” occurred during the official Sundance Film Festival screening, but despite earlier reports, it was not as serious as it initially seemed. “The individual was treated and cleared,” a rep for the film tells THR. “No one went into labor. And the film was not stopped.”
Another source confirmed it was a “medical incident” but added that the individual was able to walk out and be treated. They are said to be in stable condition.
Deadline first reported news of the medical emergency, indicating that it was a woman who went into labor during the screening. That turned out not to be true...
