Damn! Someone either gonna do time or face complete financial ruin behind this!


Being charged is possible but from what I understand all movies have an insurance policy to cover them in the event something like this occurs so it may not affect them financially.

But careers ans reputations can be damaged irreparably if its determined this woman lost her life due to their refusal to pay the proper people or they simply ignored safety protocols.

This is different than the crow was well since the internet wasn't as widespread and available at the time of Brandon Lee's death to spread info.

In this day and age every detail will be leaked including names so of someone fucked up the internet will be on their ass.

The characters of the ABC police drama The Rookie might still come out guns blazing, but the actors will no longer be wielding real firearms.
EW has confirmed that the series has banned "live" weapons on set, effective immediately, in the wake of the fatal shooting accident on the Santa Fe set of Alec Baldwin film Rust.
As first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the Nathan Fillion-led series will only use realistic-looking airsoft guns and add computer-generated muzzle flashes in post-production. Airsoft guns fire nonlethal BBs or pellets instead of blanks or bullets.

Showrunner Alexi Hawley announced the change in a memo that went out to all cast and crew Friday. "The tragic events in New Mexico yesterday have shaken us all, and our hearts go out to the friends and family of Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza," he wrote. "There will be no more 'live' weapons on the show. The safety our cast and crew is too important. Any risk is too much risk."

Hawley also encouraged cast and crew members to report anything that they witness on set that feels unsafe or concerns them.

The decision comes on the heels of the Rust accident, in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza wounded when a prop firearm was discharged by Baldwin, a cast member and producer on the film. The incident is under investigation by local authorities, and the production company behind the film said it will conduct an internal review.
Hawley isn't the only showrunner pledging to change the use of firearms on their productions. Eric Kripke of The Boys tweeted Friday that he will never use guns with blanks on any of his sets again.
"Someone hurt or killed on my set is my worst nightmare," he wrote. "Sending love to Halyna Hutchins' family, @JensenAckles, cast & crew of 'Rust.' I'm so sorry. In her memory, a simple, easy pledge: no more guns with blanks on any of my sets ever. We'll use VFX muzzle flashes. Who's with me?"



Many movie and television sets have already opted for muzzle flashes and gun effects created with CGI, but it remains to be seen how many more in the industry will commit to making that the new standard.
 
Production company on Alec Baldwin film launching internal review after fatal shooting

Baldwin was told the gun being used as a prop was safe before he discharged it, according to law enforcement officials.

The production company behind the Western film Rust said it was launching an internal review after star and producer Alec Baldwin discharged a firearm that was being used as a prop and fatally shot the cinematographer and also injured the director.
"The safety of our cast and crew is the top priority of Rust Productions and everyone associated with the company," Rust Movie Productions LLC said Friday in a statement to PEOPLE. "Though we were not made aware of any official complaints concerning weapon or prop safety on set, we will be conducting an internal review of our procedures while production is shut down. We will continue to cooperate with the Santa Fe authorities in their investigation and offer mental health services to the cast and crew during this tragic time."

The deadly incident occurred Thursday afternoon at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set in Santa Fe, N.M., according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, was killed, and director Joel Souza, 48, was wounded. Souza was released from the hospital Friday.
The New York Times reported Friday that an affidavit from the sheriff's office said one of the film's assistant directors grabbed one of three prop guns that the film's armorer had set up on set and handed it to Baldwin, before yelling, "Cold gun!" (an industry term used to denote a gun that doesn't have any live rounds in it). Per the affidavit, which was issued as part of a search warrant application, the assistant director "did not know live rounds were in the prop-gun" when he did this.

No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing.

According to a Los Angeles Times report, the incident occurred hours after half a dozen members of the camera crew walked off the set to protest working conditions. A source told the Times that the protesting crew members, who were part of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, were replaced by nonunion crew members.
The production did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment regarding the Times report.
Baldwin, 63, addressed the fatal misfire Friday on social media. "There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours," he tweeted. "I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna."

When you take the devil into your mouth, you're doomed! For he is lying there in wait for you inside that bottle of whiskey. Waiting for you to take him into your mouth. Waiting to get down into your guts where he can do his devil's work. Liquor is the most foul, evil thing in this here world. It destroyed good men like myself. It'll destroy you too. Beer is not much better - it's slower, cheaper. So take these words of advice. And remember, you heard them from a poor sinner, got no more cause to lie, 'cause he's going to meet his Maker. Now he's ready. Well that's all I've got to say.
 
I don't understand it, because you can buy fake guns that look pretty damn realistic

In 2021 can't you add the gun sound later and not have to even fire the gun?


Adding muzzle flash in post doesn't solve the lack of recoil problem. And adding CO2 recoil systems to some of the exotic guns used in shows isn't always feasible as well, such as revolvers, which being that it was a western would be used.
 
I'd like to see those storyboard panels to see why the gun was pointed in the cinematographers direction. Ricochet?

In a lot of westerns there's a "shot" where you focus on the gun barrel....
Maybe he is in the middle of a "draw" and for dramatic effect you see down the barrel of the gun....


There's numerous scenarios I can envision why they were in front of the gun
 
Just like all the CGI blood splatter gun shot wounds you see nowadays, they are going to start using CGI muzzle flashes and sound effects.

That shit might look a bit off for a while, but I'm sure Hollywood will be able to master the visuals soon enough.
