Poor guy.... Hope he's alright.... He's a good actor and always comes across as a really likeable guy in interviews.....

... I think 'The Dark Knight' has been a bit of a hexed film. A technician got killed setting up one of the stunts, then Heath Ledger died, Christian Bale has been arrested, and now this! Cillian Murphy and the rest of the guys must be a bit worried by now....

They just had it on the BBC news, terrible news, I think he's fab, I can't think of a film I don't like with him in.
I hope he pulls through.
 
***********UPDATED***************

The 71-year-old actor broke his shoulder and arm in the incident, but is expected to make a "good" recovery.

Highway Patrol spokesman Sergeant Ben Williams said Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima which belonged to Demaris Meyer, of Memphis, when the car left a rural highway and overturned several times.

"There's no indication that either alcohol or drugs were involved," Mr Williams said. He added that both Freeman and Ms Meyer were wearing seatbelts.

There was still no information on Ms Meyer's condition, he said.
