According to the Times, Harris is expected to file one or more civil complaints related to the accident in the next few weeks.

Harris declined to discuss his legal strategy but said: "There's a lot of pressure on these producers and directors to make these films under budget. It would have cost them a lot more to have the railroad shut down."

The movie's director, Randall Miller, who is also a producer on the film, is represented by Savannah-based attorney Harry D. Dixon Jr., who was the United States attorney for the Southern District of Georgia under the Clinton administration.
