Baz Luhrmann suffers head injury on set of The Great Gatsby
Baz Luhrmann reportedly cracked his head on a camera crane while maneuvering about the tightly packed set. Producer Anton Monsted told reporters the following.
"We were on quite a cramped set and he was ducking under the crane. 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."
All of the cast and crew will return next year to resume filming on this adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.
The Great Gatsby was released May 10th, 2013 and stars Lisa Adam, Frank Aldridge, Amitabh Bachchan, Steve Bisley, Richard Carter, Jason Clarke, Adelaide Clemens, Vince Colosimo. The film is directed by Baz Luhrmann.

I knew this remake would be a headache, but dang! :P
And, umm ... cracking your head open isn't what I'd call a 'mild' injury ...

Hopefully the injury will make him come to his senses and stop production on this mess.
