Harrison Ford’s injury will cause production on Star Wars: Episode VII to be suspended for two weeks.
Disney announced on Sunday that shooting would be halted for two weeks in August to adjust the production schedule following Ford’s injury. The 71-year-old broke his leg in June during filming of the much-anticipated sequel at Pinewood Studios outside of London. The much-awaited film began filming in May in Abu Dhabi.
Disney had said earlier that Ford’s injury wouldn’t cause any delays. The studio said on Sunday that Episode VII is still “on track” to wrap in the autumn and be released in December 2015.
The accident involved a spacecraft door on the Millennium Falcon falling on Ford’s leg. His recuperation was expected to take up to two months.
