We understand Goodman slipped during the past week while blocking a scene at the UK’s Pinewood Studios and was taken to hospital for treatment. We understand it led to filming being stopped for two days. It is described to us by sources as a relatively “minor injury” and the 72-year-old actor is expected back on set Monday.
The untitled project, which began production late last year, is Oscar winner González I?árritu’s first English-language film since The Revenant. It is being produced and directed by González I?árritu, with a script he co-wrote in 2023 with Birdman co-writers Nicolas Giacobone and Alexander Dinelaris, along with Sabina Berman. Plot details are still under wraps.
The cast features Tom Cruise, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons and Sophie Wilde.
This is Cruise’s first film with Warner Bros Discovery since signing a deal to develop and produce theatrical films with the studio in January 2024. His last project with the studio was Edge of Tomorrow a decade ago.
Emmy and Golden Globe winner Goodman, a beloved screen vet, is well known for series including Roseanne, The Conners and The Righteous Gemstones and movies such as The Big Lebowski, The Flinstones and Monsters Inc.
