Tom Cruise movie filming halted after leading male cast member suffers horror injury

Filming disrupted at Pinewood Studios

Filming of Tom Cruise's latest movie came to a sudden stop at Pinewood Studios, Bucks, when a leading male cast member sustained serious injuries to his pelvis and leg, landing him in the hospital.

Major setback for the film production

The incident, which occurred during the filming of the movie titled 'Judy', has dealt a significant blow to the production. In the film, Cruise portrays a megalomaniac striving to save humanity, alongside John Goodman, Jesse Plemons, and Riz Ahmed.

Echoes of past incidents

This injury incident bears similarities to when Cruise previously broke his ankle during a stunt for 'Mission Impossible: Fallout' in 2018. Known for his love of performing daring stunts, Cruise's projects often involve an element of danger.

Costly and alarming consequences

Aside from the concern over the famous actor's well-being, the incident poses financial implications for the movie, which has a high budget and tight schedule. The film is set for release in October 2026 and is directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, a two-time Best Director Oscar winner.
