"He&amp;#x2019;s a trooper! The Maze Runner director Wes Ball took to Twitter on Saturday, March 19, to update fans on Dylan O&amp;#x2019;Brien&amp;#x2019;s condition after the actor was injured on set earlier in the week.&amp;#x201C;Well, it&amp;#x2019;s been a whirlwind of emotions these past few days,&amp;#x201D; Ball, 35, wrote. &amp;#x201C;I&amp;#x2019;ve been overwhelmed with feelings of anger and sadness and guilt. But ultimately I find myself left with just a deep love and respect for Dylan. He is one tough cookie.&amp;#x201D;O&amp;#x2019;Brien, 24, was severely injured after a serious accident on the set of his upcoming film, The Maze Runner: The Death Cure, on Thursday, March 17. The actor was &amp;#x201C;treated in a local hospital&amp;#x201D; shortly afterwards, his rep told Us.&amp;#x201C;I&amp;#x2019;m sorry for the grief this accident has caused his friends and family as well as my wonderful cast and crew,&amp;#x201D; Ball continued. &amp;#x201C;It&amp;#x2019;s scary seeing your friend get hurt, but fortunately, Dylan is going to be just fine. After a few weeks of rest and recovery he will be back up and running to finish our adventure together. All the best.&amp;#x201D;The film&amp;apos;s production company 20th Century Fox noted in a statement on Friday that the work on the movie &amp;#x201C;will be shut down while he recovers.&amp;#x201D;The Maze Runner: The Death Cure is the third film in the hit franchise, which was adapted from James Dashner&amp;#x2019;s book trilogy.
