It is on BBC Radio Scotland news as I type FFS. I don't recall similar blanket coverage when a stuntman died on Deadpool 2 a couple of years ago. In fact am sure there have been other deaths and accidents on movie sets since that have barely been reported outside of the industry journals ..... Fair comment. There are lots of accidents including deaths on TV and movie sets (Batwoman for example had a very bad run of these). I think the coverage here is because the shot was fired by a very famous actor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that common that the star shoots the director and blows the head off the cinematographer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly can't see the difference between an unknown stuntman dying performing a stunt and a Hollywood actor shooting somebody dead? Of course the news will be all over it like a rash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRocketman II Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I am clearly in a minority here They had someone on Radio Scotland analysing the event which amounted to sweet FA information (obviously). I get that entertainment and magazine type news shows will run with this to within an inch of its life but I genuinely struggle to see how it is main news for every broadcaster. Wonder if it will appear on STV news tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe its an OJ Simpson type event and I am completely out of touch with what constitutes news and how that conflates with an obsession with "celebrities".... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 3 hours ago, Michael W said: Actor Alec Baldwin has killed someone on set during filming. He fired a prop gun which killed the Director of Photography, Halyna Hutchins. He also injured another person on set. Presumably, this has been a terrible accident. Have any P&B posters ever killed a work colleague, accidentally or otherwise? Have any P&B posters seriously injured a work colleague, accidentally or otherwise? Any other P&B posters wondering why the f**k a gun capable of killing someone was being used in a working environment? Do cows class as colleagues? “all morning I killed cows” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the Acorn carbon capture story and the assurances offered by the UK Government would have mad more mileage and would maybe be worth highlighting on an hourly basis rather than Alex Baldwin. Wonder what the reporting would have bene like if it were William or Stephen.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a grade A* media event. It's like Prince Andrew being a nonce. They are everywhere but he is the one we want hear about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
