"Production will resume as soon as possible," it continued.

The film, which also stars Jude Law, is based on a novel by Mark Burnell. Lively will star as main character Stephanie Patrick as she searches for the truth and seeks revenge after her family is killed in a planned plane crash.

Lively has been seen on set donning a brunette pixie cut and baggy clothes.

It remains unclear if the production delay will affect the film's planned Feb. 22 release date.
