William Hurt has broken his leg days into filming “The Coldest Game” in Poland, with Bill Pullman called in to take over the Oscar-winning actor’s role in the Cold War thriller.
The accident occurred off set two weeks ago, just as production was getting underway in Warsaw. Hurt was making his way to his accommodation after shooting when he slipped and fell, breaking his leg, a source close to Hurt told Variety. The actor has since had surgery and is currently convalescing in Poland.
Pullman was available and liked the script, and given that the changeover happened so early in the production, extensive re-shoots have not been needed. “The Coldest Game” is Polish-produced but English-language, with an eye on international markets.
Pullman plays Joshua Mansky, a forgotten genius and chess master during the height of the Cold War. The film follows events leading up to an era-defining chess match...
