Harrison Ford injury to halt Star Wars for 2 weeks


New York — 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 actor broke his leg in June during filming of the much-anticipated sequel at Pinewood Studios outside of London.

Disney had said earlier that Ford's injury wouldn't cause any delays. The studio said Sunday that Episode VII is still "on track" to wrap in the fall 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.
