Jeremy Renner Says ‘It Felt Good’ for ‘Knives Out 3’ to Be His First Movie After Near-Death Snow Plow Accident: I Was With ‘People I Love’

Jeremy Renner miraculously survived being run over by his 14,000-pound snow plow in 2023 while trying to save his nephew from harm. Although he previously detailed his difficult recovery at length, he spoke about how the cast of “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” helped him recover, as it was the first film he shot after the accident.

“It’s a lot of support, man,” he said during an interview at Variety‘s TIFF Studio alongside his “Knives Out” costars. “It’s lovely to have it. There’s such a communion and camaraderie that happens, especially on a movie like this. This is not even really a movie to me, it’s more like a stage play. We’re always together, we’re always in each other’s faces, even when we’re acting. When you have 15 people on a camera, you spend a lot of time with them.
