Fox confirms to EW that production has stalled on the set of the Andrew Niccol thriller — previously called I’m.mortal — due to its star’s injury. (The news was first reported by E! Online.) Says Fox in a statement, “Justin Timberlake sustained a muscle injury to his calf on the set of … Now. Production has taken a brief hiatus and will resume shortly.” The film, set for release in 2011, also stars Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, and Johnny Galecki, among others. No word from the studio when exactly production will resume.

is it bad that I got most excited about being able to see Johnny Galecki as hopefully a non-nerd?
Get well soon Justin!
Is Cillian Murphy still attached to this film? I thought he was one of the first to sign on, but no longer seems to be mentioned. Since he would be the only reason to see this film, if he’s out, I’m out.
I read an online script for this movie and it sounds so good. I can’t wait. Hope Timberlake gets better fast. I saw he needs to be out for just a couple of weeks on crutches.
Whatever keeps him from making that horrible music is fine with me.
Guess this also means Olivia Wilde won’t be on House any time soon. Maybe she can make a brief cameo will the movie is on hiatus.
