Paris Hotel Fire Forces ‘Ready or Not 2’ Cast Evacuation

The swift containment meant the press tour stayed on schedule.

Overview

  • Cast members Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood and Kathryn Newton were evacuated from Le Bristol Paris on Wednesday after a kitchen fire at the hotel’s 114 Faubourg restaurant triggered alarms, with roughly 400 people cleared from the building.
  • Le Bristol’s communications director said firefighters contained and extinguished the blaze and guests returned once it was safe, with the hotel reopening except for the affected restaurant.
  • Several outlets reported that up to three people received treatment, and no injuries were confirmed for the Ready or Not 2 cast.
  • Following the brief disruption, the promotion continued as Gellar, Wood and Newton appeared at the Paris premiere and later posted lighthearted social clips from the day.
  • TMZ first reported the fire during a press junket, and Entertainment Weekly and other publications confirmed details as the film’s European rollout proceeds after its U.S. debut earlier in March.
