Maze Runner delayed indefinitely; More injured than expected
Edit: It's still happening, but expect it at least several months later.
Quote:
Fox's The Maze Runner: The Death Cure has shut down production for the foreseeable future because its star's injuries from an accident on set are more severe than initially expected.
Production on the film was shut down in March in order for the actor to recover, with Fox believing it would take only a few weeks and scheduling a May 9 resumption. However, sources now say that cast and crew have been sent home, and a new start date will depend on O'Brien's recovery and the ability to reassemble the large cast and crew. Insiders say O'Brien's injuries are more severe than first believed.
"His injuries are very serious, and he needs more time to recover," said O’Brien’s publicist, Jennifer Allen.
The Fox project was slated for release on Feb, 17, 2017, but because of the lengthy delay, the film likely won't be able to make that date.
Awww no I love this series and definitely want the 3rd installment as soon as possible but at least there's a good reason for the delay. Hope he gets better soon.
