Jonathan Majors and his co-star fell out of a window while filming a new action movie, forcing the crew to leave the set.
According to Deadline, the actor and J.C. Kilcoyne were filming a scene where his character gets fired upon.
Footage shared by the X news agency showed two people backing up against a reinforced glass window as gunshots rang out.
However, the glass pane broke and the actors fell backwards.
Crew members quickly arrived to check on Majors and Kilcoyne. Kilcoyne reportedly fell 6 feet from the ground.
Sources say Kilcoyne had stitches in “his entire hand” after an incident on set in South Carolina.
A representative for the actor told Deadline that “things are going well and production was responsive.”
They added that he “did not feel unsafe on set and continued to work on the project and have a positive experience.”
Kilcoyne subsequently finished filming the film in collaboration with Dallas Sonnier’s production company, Bonfire Legends, and The Daily Wire.
Page Six has reached out to Jonathan Majors, the Daily Wire and Bonfire Legends representatives for comment.
However, according to Deadline, this incident is just one of many that have resulted in crew members coming out and going on strike.
Props fell on the crew, black mold was rampant in one location, and despite contractors warning about asbestos, producers still chose to film there.
On March 26, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) called for a strike against productions in response to the window panning incident.
“Bonfire Legend” producer Dallas Sonnier told Deadline in a statement Friday: “At a time when the entire industry is in turmoil with strikes and members are out of work, they are trying to sabotage the few who are still producing. We will not negotiate with communists.”
According to Deadline, filming is continuing, and production is underway to replace those who left the film.
Sonnier previously told Deadline when this story first broke that he and his fellow producers were “too busy being bad guys, blowing things up, flying helicopters, killing movie terrorists, etc., to care about the four Ashes holding up signs on the sidewalk and their unwarranted ‘strike.’ ”
He also told People magazine on Friday that “the actors’ downfall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the actors now represented by their unions.”
Meanwhile, the producers have not denied the allegations at all.
