Jonathan Majors and his co-star JC Kilcoyne fell through a window while shooting on their untitled action movie previously known as Knuckle. The film is co-produced by Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier’s Bonfire Legend․

Deadline obtained an exclusive clip of the fall‚ which has gone viral as more and more eyes are on a clearly beleaguered production․
The two actors were shooting a scene in South Carolina‚ where their characters take steps backward while the shots are fired. But the breakaway window was swapped for a piece of flimsy tempered glass. This glass was actually used for an entirely different stunt later on. While no one was supposed to touch the glass in the scene‚ it shattered. They both fell six feet to the ground․
Reports stated that Kilcoyne suffered cuts to both hands and several stitches. His representatives stated that he “is doing well and was taken care of immediately by production.” That he did not feel unsafe working on set‚ and completed his filming duties immediately following the incident․ There was no indication that Majors suffered anything serious. So, production on the project continued․
This incident is not the only complaint to arise. On March 26, IATSE went on strike against the production. The crew left due to safety concerns‚ and the union instructed its members not to cross the picket line‚ as the producers hired replacement workers. Filming continued anyway․
The crew signed union cards, but the producers would not accept their agreement. When asked about the recent video showing the accident, producer Dallas Sonnier gave them a harsh response.
“The actors’ fall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the now-union reps,” he said.
