Decidedly, Idris Elba has no luck with the coronavirus.
The actor, who tested positive for covid-19 at the start of the pandemic, had to stop filming his “black western”
The harder they fall
in mid-March.
Seven months later, as production on the film (slated for Netflix) resumed, a new setback was put to the crews' work when another actor tested positive.
For the moment, we do not know the name of the actor in question, but we know that Idris Elba shares the poster with Regina King, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beets, LaKeith Stanfield or even Delroy Lindo.
The film is about how an outlaw learns that the man who killed his parents must be released from prison and decides to form a team to go for revenge.
Turn anyway
The Deadline site, which relays the information, specifies that this does not necessarily mean that the shooting of
The harder they fall
is compromised and that it will still have to wait several months before the team returns to work.
The publication specifies that some productions, like that of
Jurassic World: Dominion
, have continued in part as the second team continues to shoot, while the first is technically unemployed after testing positive for covid-19.
Neither Netflix nor Idris Elba have yet commented on the interruption of filming.
