The injury is said to have had a domino effect as producers are unable to continue filming until the unnamed cast member recovers.
‘It’s a total disaster. This has all been so devastating for the entire cast and all the hardworking staff who were down to work’, a source told The Sun.
‘They’d been due to shoot some of the film’s most important scenes and then they suffered this setback after a really unfortunate accident.

‘Filming for the scenes might not start again until at least July, so the schedule has taken a hit. They’ve got a tight window, especially with having to work around the busy diaries of A-listers.’
According to the insider, filming was next set to take place at Petersham Nurseries restaurant in Richmond to shoot a garden party scene.
MailOnline has contacted Miramax and Renee’s representatives for comment.
The movie is based on the novel of the same name as Bridget battles motherhood alone following the tragic death of Mark, who was played in the previous films by Colin Firth, 63.
She will also embark on a love affair with a much younger man named Rockstar, played by One Day star Leo Woodall, 27.
In the new film, Bridget enjoys a fling with Rockstar and PE teacher Mr Walker, as played by 12 Years A Slave actor Chiwetel Ejiofor as well as reviving her on-off relationship with Hugh Grant’s Daniel Cleaver.
Bridget Jones filming comes on the heels of sheer delight from fans after the announcement of the beloved character’s return to the big screen.
Renee first appeared as Bridget in 2001’s Bridget Jones’ Diary and returned in 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and 2016’s Bridget Jones’ Baby.
The movie was officially confirmed last month, with Renée and Hugh Grant’s comebacks made official – after his love rat character Daniel Cleaver’s death was falsified in 2016’s third installment.
The fourth movie in the franchise – based on the books by Helen Fielding – will be released by Universal film on US platform Peacock on Valentine’s Day 2025 while internationally, the flick will be released in cinemas.

It comes after reports that Isla is channelling all her energy into filming Mad About The Boy following her split from her husband Sacha Baron Cohen.
According to WHO Magazine, the actress is drawing from her own personal experience to bring authenticity and depth to her character.
‘Isla’s real-life is inspiring her,’ a source told the publication. ‘She’s drawing on her own experiences and channeling them into this character.’
In addition to Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, she has been involved in various other projects.
She is set to star in Back to the Outback, a film about Australian animals escaping a zoo, and Strays, an R-rated live-action and animated comedy featuring Jamie Foxx and Will Ferrell.
Isla and Sacha, 52, announced in April that they had quietly separated last year.
The couple announced the news by sharing a picture of themselves together wearing tennis gear.
Isla and British actor Sacha, 52, announced in April that they had quietly separated last year
Their statement read: ‘After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.
‘In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.
‘We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.’
The couple first met back in 2001 and tied the knot in 2010.
They are parents to daughters Olive, 17 and Elula, 13, and son Montgomery, nine.
Insiders have claimed their marriage had been ‘shaky’ for years, with Sacha reportedly struggling after making the ‘sacrifice’ to relocate their family to Australia back in 2020.
They had moved from Los Angeles to Sydney in 2020, then to Perth – where Isla’s family live – in September 2021, to escape Sydney’s strict Covid lockdown rules.
At the time, they said the switch to Western Australia would be permanent.
However, their move from the US to Australia was said to be ‘difficult’ for Sacha because he was settled in Hollywood, and it was a shorter flight to London from there, too.
