Harrison Ford Reportedly Having Accident, Indiana Jones Filming Postponed

JAKARTA - Actor Harrison Ford reportedly had an accident while filming an action scene in the new Indiana Jones film. Harrison Ford's shoulder was injured, so the film, directed by Walt Disney, had to be postponed from shooting.

Production of the fifth film in the Indiana Jones series will resume after the treatment and evaluation for Harrison Ford has been completed.

"The shooting schedule will be rearranged as needed in the next few weeks", a Disney representative said as quoted by Reuters via ANTARA, Thursday, June 24.

The fifth Indiana Jones film is slated for release in July 2022 and shooting has actually started in early June 2021 in London.

The 78-year-old actor has played the main character in Indiana Jones since his first film in 1981 as explorer and archaeologist Henry Walton Jones.

The first film was titled Raiders of the Lost Ark and was followed by subsequent films in 1984, 1989, and 2008.

In the fifth series, there will be new stars, namely Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads Mikkelsen who accompany Harrison Ford as Doctor Jones.

This is not the first time Harrison Ford has been injured while acting, in 2014 in the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, he suffered a broken leg when a hydraulic door on the spaceship Millennium Falcon hit him.
