We are sad to report that actor Harrison Ford has been injured while filming Star Wars Episode VII. Variety.com has passed along the following information:

According to Disney, the 71 year-old actor was hospitalized after sustaining a bad ankle injury during filming on Wednesday.

“He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care,” the statement reads.

Ford was at Pinewood studios in England when a hydraulic door reportedly fell down and hit him, possibly fracturing his ankle.

He was airlifted to a hospital shortly after the incident.

We hope that the injury is not serious, and Ford will make a speedy recovery.

He was airlifted because it's a 45 min drive to the hospital. Naturally as one of the biggest stars in the world they wanted to be sure the ankle wasn't badly injured.

And HE kicked the door. It didn't fall on him.

In other words, Han shot first.

He injured himself years ago filming Indiana Jones and the temple of doom also. It was a back injury. He'll be ok. He's not about to let someone else step into being Han Solo.
