Variety reports that New Zealand drama "River Queen", which stalled last month after actress Samantha Morton fell ill, resumes filming October 4.

The flick, helmed by Vincent Ward, had shifted its schedule and suspended filming for two days to accommodate Morton's illness. But the British thespian was hospitalized with severe influenza and secondary bacterial complications, and the shoot was suspended at the beginning of August.

Publicist Sue May said co-star Kiefer Sutherland will return for a few days to complete scenes with Morton.
