Harrison Ford is still recuperating from a serious leg injury he suffered last month on the set of his new movie "Star Wars: Episode VII." The 72-year-old actor was recently spotted wearing a brace-like crutch as he hobbled onto a private jet with his wife, Calista Flockhart, and their son, Liam., the Daily Mail reports.
On June 12, Ford was filming scenes for "Star Wars" when a door from his character Hans Solo's spaceship the Millennium Falcon fell on his leg. He was immediately rushed to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford for surgery.
"His surgery was successful and he will begin rehab shortly. He's doing well and looks forward to returning to work," his rep told People magazine at the time.
Since the accident, Ford has been spotted wearing an IWalk hands-free crutch that acts like a prosthetic leg and keeps his knee bent and his foot elevated. It was reported earlier this month that his injury would cause filming to stop for two weeks in August.
According to Disney, "Star Wars" is not changing their December 2015 release date. Initially Disney had told fans that "shooting will continue as planned while [Ford] recuperates" but StarWars.com announced that production needed to be adjusted so shooting would be halted for two weeks next month. The site also revealed that two new actors, Crystal Clarke and Pip Andersen, was added to the cast.
"In August, the team will take a brief two-week hiatus while adjustments to the current production schedule are made as actor Harrison Ford recovers from a leg injury. Harrison is doing well and is looking forward to returning to the set soon. Shooting remains on track to wrap in the fall with the film scheduled for release on December 18, 2015," the statement on StarWars.com reported.
The plot for "Star Wars: Episode VII" will take place three decades after "Return of the Jedi," which was released in 1983.
