Dylan O’Brien Injured on the Set of Maze Runner: The Death Cure

20th Century Fox has released the following statement informing us that leading man Dylan O’Brien was injured yesterday while filming Maze Runner: The Death Cure in Vancouver, Canada.

“Dylan O’Brien was injured yesterday while filming ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ in Vancouver, Canada.   He was immediately transferred to a local hospital for observation and treatment.  Production on the film will be shut down while he recovers. Our thoughts go out to Dylan for a full and speedy recovery.”

According to TMZ, the accident was the result of a car stunt gone wrong in which a vehicle hit O’Brien, leaving the actor with “severe” injuries and broken bones.

As with the previous two movies, Maze Runner: The Death Cure is directed by Wes Ball from a screenplay by T.S. Nowlin adapting the YA novels of James Dashner. It follows the events of 2014’s The Maze Runner and 2015’s Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and co-stars Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Rosa Salazar, Ki Hong Lee and Dexter Darden.

The film is currently slated for a February 17, 2017 release date, although that may change given the production delays. We’ll report more information as it comes in.

UPDATE: Dashner has shared the following on Twitter.

I just want to let everyone know that yes, Dylan was hurt, but that he’s going to be okay. Not life threatening in any way.

Production is postponed but certainly not cancelled. All that matters now is that Dylan recovers. We love you, Dylan!!!
