Timberlake injures leg on film set

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Production on the thriller "Now" has been temporarily halted after U.S. pop star and actor Justin Timberlake injured his leg doing a stunt, E! News said.

The incident happened last week but there was no word on exactly what Timberlake was doing when he sustained the injury. Cameras are expected to start rolling again sometime next week, a source told E! News.

"Justin Timberlake sustained a muscle injury to his calf on the set of Andrew Niccol's thriller 'Now.' Production has taken a brief hiatus and will resume shortly," representatives for the film said in a statement Monday.

The film co-stars Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde.
