Deadline is reporting that production on the hotly anticipated adaptation The Great Gatsby has been halted due to an injury on set while filming in Sydney.
According to a local news organization, director Baz Luhrmann cracked his head on a camera crane and was sent to the hospital, the film’s producers decided to call off production until the new year.
As Deadline reports:
”We were on quite a cramped set and he was ducking under the crane. He struck his head on the weights on the end of the camera crane. He split open his head and we had to get the doctor.”
The report continues:
Producers decided to stop filming and allow the cast and crew to get home for Christmas a day earlier than planned. Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, et al will return for additional shots in the new year.
It sounds like this incident shouldn’t hamper production too much. We’re certainly excited for this film! Are you?
