https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/woman-fatally-shot-prop-firearm-004512073.html Baldwin was filming is newest movie Rust, when he fired a prop gun, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. An investigation is underway. No charges have been filed. This incident harkens back to actor Brandon Lee who was was shot and killed by a prop gun in 1993 while filming the crow. These incidents are rare. Prop masters take great care to make sure prop guns, are safely discharged. Local 44 which represents prop masters sent an email saying the bullet was a live round and that the prop master on set was not a member of the Local 44.
Usually they don't. Prop guns generally use blanks, bullets without projectiles. Though it's rare, sometimes a real bullet ends up getting placed in a prop gun.
Trump is gonna have a field day with this. One more red herring to throw to his adoring masses to “prove” how “bad” his detractors are……..it’s just another tragic situation he will be only too happy to exploit……
The weird thing is that a lot of movies/tv shows use airsoft guns now and just add muzzle flashes later in post production. This is definitely a huge mistake by the production staff.
I read this morning that something like 43 actors have been killed on movie sets by props and 150 disabled for life. Reminds me of Brandon Lee and Vic Morrow...Vics was brutal...helicopter blade killed him on set..Brandon Lee was killed by a prop gun on the Crow set...feel bad for this lady and her loved ones
Am I reading that right? Baldwin objected to replacing qualified people with scabs - and that somehow makes him responsible when the scabs screw up?
It pisses me off when anti-gun people immediately turn around and start spewing anti-gun crap right after a shooting, and it equally pisses me off that I'm seeing pro-gun people taking pleasure in the fact that an anti-gun advocate shot two people.
