resk Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Sergeant Wilson said: I doubt actors will be relied on to do any checks. What possible qualification could they have? If Jeniffer Aniston used a gun in a film would you be expecting her to give it a quick check? I had thought he was messing about, but have since read he was shooting towards a camera for a scene. He sounds pretty blameless to me. I said if Baldwin had done a check it might not have happened. That's not the same as me suggesting that it was Baldwin's job to check the gun, that he should be relied on to ensure the gun was safe, or that any blame should be attached to him. However that's the second time I've had to make that clarification which probably means I didn't word my point correctly - sorry to all for causing confusion! Actually there are plenty of people in the darker corners of the internet saying that he should be blamed/charged/whatever, but they seem to be mostly perma-raging NRA gun nuts (Baldwin was/is evidently quite vocally in favour of tighter gun controls) so their opinions can probably be safely filed in the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 According to the Santa Fe Sheriff there were 3 guns available to Baldwin, a totally safe plastic replica, a modified army revolver that might be only capable of firing blanks, and the gun handed to Baldwin that he'd fired live rounds from before. Sounds like it would have been difficult to accidentally hand over the wrong gun. 500 rounds were found on set, a mixture of live rounds, blanks and fakes. Sounds like murder by the assistant director or a total clusterfuck of negligence, in which case the director and producers will come into play. Baldwin is still an official suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Police have announced they've now recovered "a lead projectile" from director Joel Souza's shoulder. This is believed to be the same "lead projectile" that killed Halyna Hutchins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The head armourer seems to have been caught in a barefaced lie to the cops, claiming that no live ammo was ever kept on set. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/alec-baldwin-assistant-director-rust-safety-lapse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Why would live rounds be kept on a film set? This whole story makes no sense. Sounds more and more like deliberate sabotage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more and more like deliberate sabotage. The cops found loads of them, and the crew used to borrow the guns for shooting tin cans on their breaks. Sounds like a total neglect of normal safety procedures from top to bottom, whether or not the bullet was placed in Baldwin's gun deliberately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to be prepared, maybe they thought some real pesky red skins might turn up to carry on their war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuing with the American investigative TV show theme, if this was an episode of CSI: Miami, it'd turn out that the "lead projectile" wasn't the same as the one that killed the DoP. Something something pun about lead/bullets/shootings then sunglasses! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Nosejob Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Seemingly, in the good old U.S. of A., real guns are easier and cheaper to acquire than prop guns. So, if there are budgetary or time constraints on your production, your best choice is to go for real guns and rely on your crew not using them with live ammo for target practice during their downtime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people on set are likely to have been negatively impacted and in Hollywood that means they are due a pay out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
