Jonathan Majors fall through a window during shoot
Jonathan Majors’ fall through a window during the shoot of The Daily Wire action movie is making headlines. The working title of the movie is Knuckle. On April 10, Deadline shared footage of Majors and his co-star, JC Kilcoyne, accidentally falling through a window while filming a scene.
In the clip, the two actors were performing their scene when they stumbled backwards and fell out of the window. The shocked crew members and technicians gathered around to see what had happened. Two voices affirmed that everything was “good.” A voice that appeared to be Majors asked if the production was rolling on the action. “Did we shoot it?” the man asked.
A source explained to Deadline that the accident took place “after the window was replaced with an unsecured sheet of tempered glass to be purposefully shattered in a later stunt that did not involve any actors.” The actors fell about six feet to the ground, and, as per sources, Kilcoyne required stitches in his hands.
Kilcoyne’s representatives spoke to Variety and assured that he was doing fine. The reps revealed that the actor has been “doing well and was taken care of immediately by production.” Despite the traumatic experience, Kilcoyne wrapped filming on the movie like a true professional. His representatives also assured fans that the actor “did not feel unsafe on set and continued to have a positive experience working on the project.”
The accident sparked major concern among the crew, who walked off the South Carolina set. However, when producer Sonnier was approached to comment on the accident as well as the production’s negotiations with the crew, he said to Variety, “The actors’ fall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the now-union reps.” Despite the walkout, filming continued in some capacity.
