Biography
Nannuzzi briefly worked in the United States in the mid-1980s, and during this period he collaborated with horror novelist Stephen King on King's directorial debut, Maximum Overdrive.
An accident occurred on 31 July 1985, during shooting in a suburb of Wilmington, North Carolina for Maximum Overdrive. A radio controlled lawnmower used in a scene went out of control and struck a block of wood used as a camera support, shooting out wood splinters which injured Nannuzzi, the director of photography on the production. As a result, Nannuzzi lost his right eye.[1][2]
After the incident, Nannuzzi sued Stephen King on February 18, 1987 for $18 million in damages due to unsafe working practices.[1] The suit was settled out of court.[3]
Other films in which he served as a cinematographer include Sandra (1965)[4] and Frankenstein Unbound (1990).[5] He was also a frequent collaborator of Mauro Bolognini's.[6]
Nannuzzi died on May 14, 2001, in Ostia, Italy, although some sources say he died in April 2001.[7] He was 75.
