Production on Tom Cruise‘s highly anticipated movie has hit a significant roadblock following a serious injury suffered by John Goodman. The 72-year-old actor reportedly sustained pelvic and leg injuries, resulting in an abrupt halt in filming and potentially causing millions of dollars in delays.
According to reports, Goodman was immediately rushed to the hospital for medical attention, throwing the set into chaos as the production team scrambled to assess the impact of his absence.
With Goodman playing a pivotal role in the film, the setback could lead to extensive rescheduling and financial losses as he recovers.
Production delays could cost millions
The movie, currently working under the title “Judy,” is directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and features Cruise in the lead role as a megalomaniac determined to save humanity.
The cast also includes Jesse Plemons, Riz Ahmed and Goodman. However, with such a high-profile project already on a tight production schedule, Goodman‘s injury poses a significant challenge to keeping things on track.
An industry insider shared insights into the situation, emphasizing that while actors like Goodman enjoy taking part in elaborate stunts, accidents can still happen even with strict safety measures in place.
“The actor is renowned for loving spectacular stunts, which obviously involve some element of danger and the risk of injury-though they always strive to keep any risk to an absolute minimum,” the source told RadarOnline.com.
“This incident won’t just be alarming in terms of having someone so famous suffer such a major injury. It will also prove costly on a project that has already cost millions and is on a very tight schedule.”
While Goodman‘s injury has thrown this production into disarray, the film’s leading man, Tom Cruise, is no stranger to high-risk action scenes. Known for his daredevil stunts, Cruise has a long history of pushing the boundaries of physical endurance in his films.
