Baz Luhrmann Injured On 'Great Gatsby' Set

It's not easy being Jay Gatsby nor is it easy being the man who oversees him, apparently. Though it's not an action movie by any stretch of the imagination (though it does veer off towards the thriller genre at points), production on "Great Gatsby" reportedly got a bit hairy over the holiday weekend when director Baz Luhrmann was injured on the film's Australian set following a collision with a camera crane, according to the Sydney Morning Herald (via The Hollywood Reporter). "We were on quite a cramped set and he was ducking under the crane," "Gatsby" co-producer Anton Monstead told the Herald of the incident. "He struck his head on the weights on the end of the camera crane. He split open his head, and we had to get the doctor." Luhrmann reportedly needed three stitches in his head following his injury. As a result of the accident, production on the Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire starring drama shut down one day early for the Christmas holiday, with shooting planned to resume after the new year.
