“Heat” director Michael Mann has been hospitalized after accidentally shooting himself at a Los Angeles gun range.
The 83-year-old filmmaker was attempting to holster the firearm when it went off, striking his leg, around 4 p.m. at The Range LA on Saturday, sources told TMZ.
Paramedics took him to the hospital in an ambulance.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the incident to the outlet, stating that the victim was in the middle of firearm training when he accidentally discharged his gun.
Additionally, Mann’s reps told Page Six Sunday that the accident resulted in a “superficial” injury and he was set to be released from the hospital soon.
We’re told by an insider the businessman has been practicing target shooting for decades.
The Range LA is a members-only shooting club, curated “for serious enthusiasts, collectors, and beginners alike,” on the Westside of the city, per their website.
Annual memberships range from $2,000 to $5,400.
Mann, meanwhile, has directed several hit films since he got his start in Hollywood back in the 1960s.
One of his many beloved films is the 1995 crime action movie “Heat,” starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer, in a story about LAPD detectives and a master criminal.
The screenwriter also rejoined forces with Pacino in the 1999 Golden Globes-nominated thriller “The Insider.” The crime biographical drama about Jeffrey Wigand, a tobacco industry whistleblower, also stars Russell Crowe and Christopher Plummer.

Mann also recently produced the award-winning 2003 drama “Ferrari” with Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley.
He’s now in the production phase of “Heat 2,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale.
Pacino and De Niro are rumored to star in the forthcoming production based on the 2022 Meg Gardiner-written crime novel of the same name.
Filming for the upcoming movie is allegedly set to begin in January.
Michael married movie art director Summer Man in 1974, and the couple shares four children.
