Harrison Ford crushed on Star Wars set: Han Solo star airlifted to hospital

Star Wars actor Harrison Ford was airlifted to hospital today after he was crushed on the set of the new movie.

The 71-year-old Hollywood star was at Pinewood studios in Buckinghamshire when a hydraulic door fell down and hit him as he began work on Star Wars: Episode VII.

The Han Solo actor, who also played Indiana Jones, fell to the ground in agony and after medics assessed him on the M Stage at the studios close to spaceship the Millennium Falcon, he was taken by stretcher onto a helicopter for further treatment.

Ford was taken by air ambulance to the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford with a suspected fracture in his ankle. It is understood he has no major chest injuries but is awaiting results of further tests.

The NHS hospital has a trauma unit that specialises in fracture clinics with dedicated and purpose-designed buildings.

The building also provides facilities for radiological investigation and therapy treatment for all trauma patients.

According to CNN it said he just hurt his ankle and not his chest or anything else and that filming would still continue while he recovers.

 

 

Harrison Ford suffered an ankle injury while filming the next "Star Wars" installment, Disney Studios said Thursday.

Ford, 71, is reprising the Han Solo role that brought him fame in the first "Star Wars" in 1977.

 

The injury happened on the set of "Star Wars: Episode VII" Thursday, a Disney statement said. "He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care. Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates."

While the film's production is happening at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England, and Abu Dhabi, Disney did not give the set location.

A spokesman for the British Health And Safety Executive told CNN Thursday that the agency "have been made aware of an incident at Pinewood studios and are making initial enquiries."

Harrison Ford is recuperating after surgery to heal a broken leg suffered during production on "Star Wars: Episode VII."

The actor's publicist said Thursday that Ford is doing well after surgery and will soon begin rehab. Ford was injured a week ago during filming of the much-anticipated sequel at Pinewood Studios outside of London.
The accident involved a spacecraft door falling on the 71-year-old actor's leg. Ford's Han Solo pilots the Millennium Falcon, which is returning in "Episode VII."

 

And there you have it folks... the Falcon is returning!!! :D

Lets hope Ford recovers fast enough to get back on track to fly it!

J.J. Abrams may be kicking off the new Star Wars trilogy, but the series will get a different director for Episode VIII: Rian Johnson, the director of Brick, Looper, and some of the most memorable episodes of Breaking Bad.

He will both write and direct the as-yet-untitled Episode VIII, according to multiple sources on the films. Ram Bergman, who produced Looper, Don Jon, and Brick, will also be joining the Star Wars production bandwagon for the project.

Deadline reported that Johnson would also be directing Episode IX, but sources tell EW that part of the rumor isn?t true ? most likely pushed by overzealous agents. Right now, sources close to the films say he is only committed to Episode VIII, but that he will have input, naturally, in shaping the story for the final installment ? as any filmmaker involved in the brain trust would.

The choice to hire the 40-year-old Johnson is part of Lucasfilm?s strategy of recruiting directors who grew up imagining their own Star Wars stories, usually with a cast of plastic action figures. Chronicle director Josh Trank and Godzilla remake director Gareth Edwards have been tapped to oversee stand-alone Star Wars films, which will exist outside the narrative of the coming trilogy.

Abrams? Star Wars: Episode VII is currently shooting in the U.K., and grappling with some bad luck after Harrison Ford broke his leg in an on-set accident. While the Han Solo actor recovers, filming is still underway with no plans to change the Dec. 18, 2015 release date.

Carrie Fisher's Daughter Billie Lourd Joins STAR WARS: EPISODE VII

 

According to Latino Review, the daughter of Carrie Fisher and Co-Chairman of Creative Arts Agency Bryan Lourd will have a role in Star Wars: Episode VII. There's not a lot to the report, but the site do say that it could just be a cameo. It'd be easy to assume that Billie will be playing the child of Princess Leia in the film, but with no acting credits to the 21-year old's name, a large part would seem unlikely. What do you guys think? Cameo or a more substantial role? Star Wars: Episode VII also stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie. They join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
