The tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was accidentally shot by actor Alec Baldwin on the Santa Fe set of indie Western Rust last week, has shaken up Hollywood, prompting soul-sea…

“There’s no reason to have guns loaded with blanks or anything on set anymore,” he wrote on Twitter. “Should just be fully outlawed. There’s computers now.”, tweeted: “No more guns with blanks on any of my sets ever. We’ll use VFX muzzle flashes. Who’s with me?”

Purists argue that using Air Soft guns and special effects is not the same as the real thing and an authentic recoil can only be produced by a real weapon. But as Zobel countered about using digital gunshots onscreen, “You can probably tell, but who cares? It’s an unnecessary risk.” As industry discussions continue, there are no indication that any studio or streamer are implementing a blanket policy banning “live” weapons from all of their shows. But safety protocols are being carefully reviewed and reinforced.

The sentiment I hear is that most studios consider the existing safeguards sufficient. Indeed, it has often been smaller-budget indie movies outside the studio system that have been prone to accidents.had the budget of an average episode of a high-end drama series, about $6 million-$7 million, and a tight 21-day filming schedule.

That’s great for all upcoming movies & TV shows.

That’s great. Let’s hope they change it so real bullets are not used and instead, bullets are added in post-production instead.

The OBVIOUS PROBLEM was an underfunded project with idiot producers. How you gonna fix THAT?

If only America did that.
