As been likely said, you'd think they would've figured out some 'foolproof' way of recreating the use of such weapons in movies by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once something is assumed to be foolproof, a fool proves the assumption to be wrong. Absolutely sickening results, everyone working on that set will have to look back at this for the rest of their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Producer gets it in the shoulder, and her through the stomach. There were reports yesterday it might have been caught on film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedestroyerofworlds Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It's obvious that the safeguards that were put in place after the Brandon Lee incident were not followed to the letter. And blanks can kill. Doesn't necessarily require live rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Alec Baldwin must feel incredible guilt - he literally just killed someone yesterday. The poor grieving family. Ugly stuff. I’m guessing there will be lawsuits aplenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the setting of a TV show or movie, the people working on set and the actors are reliant on people like this AD to ensure things go off safely. When they don't do their jobs to a T, you get tragedies like this and like with the late Brandon Lee. https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-movies-santa-fe-alec-baldwin-25d83890a289bb9ae358f406cd3cbee9?utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculating that someone potentially committed a murder with zero evidence is quite frankly disgusting and completely uncalled for. Be a better person than this. Personally I’m going to wait until an investigation is done before forming any opinion. One thing though that should be done is banning prop guns and using CGI or special effects to create the illusion of a gun being fired. We have the technology to make an entire movie on a computer so I don’t see how this can’t be done to ensure this never happens again.

There’s already tons of speculation going on, and quite frankly foul play isn’t that much of a stretch when you’re talking about loading a real bullet in a prop gun. Don’t wanna discuss possibilities the door is that way ====> Edited October 23, 2021 by DeNiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
