The 71 year-old actor's recent injury caused by a hydraulic door could cause a major headache for director J.J. Abrams.
Harrison Ford's broken ankle could cause major disruption of the filming of 'Star Wars Episode VII.'
The injury, which occurred on June 12th, may side-line the 71 year-old for up to 6 to 8 weeks, according to new reports.
Ford's ankle broke while he was shooting in the U.K. when a spaceship fell onto his leg.
Ironically it was his character's own ship's hydraulic door, from the famed Millennium Falcon, that caused the damage.
"The initial day or two after the accident it was hard to move things around but now we have had more time we can juggle things, bring some scenes forward and push others back," an insider with the production told The Mirror.
Adding, "There are lots of other actors in the movie so it is not a disaster. We are still confident the film can stay on schedule."
The source also confirmed that Ford will not be returning to set, at Pinewood Studios, for at least six weeks while he recuperates as "the main priority is making sure he is OK."
The injury must have been severe due to the veteran Hollywood star being airlifted to a nearby hospital to receive treatment.
"Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today," a spokesperson for Disney said in a statement. "He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care."
Despite one of the main characters missing nearly two months of shooting, Lucasfilm and Disney reiterate that filming will continue as planned and there should be no setbacks.
