Blake Lively's spy thriller "The Rhythm Section" has suspended production indefinitely after the actress sustained a hand injury.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the crew of the Reed Morano-directed film have been told to find other work while lively is recuperating from the injury. One source said it might take as much as five months until the "Gossip Girl" alum is well enough to film again. However, even that timeline is not assured.

Lively acquired the injury while filming a stunt for the movie in Dublin last September. At that time, production was only temporarily halted, with the intention of resuming after Lively recovers from the initial hand surgery.

However, the operation did not go as expected. Insiders said the 30-year-old actress need another round of surgery, and thus more time to recover.

In an interview with the media outlet earlier this month, Morano was still positive that they could resume production soon. "[Lively's] okay. She's just recovering. The problem is that normally, that kind of an injury, you would have four to six weeks of rehab and then you would wear a splint," the director said. "We have to go into stunts, so it's very complicated."

Lively has yet to talk about her injury and seems to be playing it down, if her recent Instagram post would be the basis. In one such post, she was seen all glammed up for a "mom's night out," even as she tried to cover a cast on her right hand.
