Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, one of American Cinematographer’s Rising Stars, was killed on the set of ‘Rust.’ Here’s everything we know so far.“It is important that California establish new safety standards and best practices for all those who work in the industry and particularly in our own state,” he said. “Those working behind the scenes to entertain and bring joy to millions all over the world shouldn’t go to set worrying if they will return home safely to their family.
“I intend to introduce legislation that would ban live ammunition on sets in California to prevent this type of senseless violence and loss of life,” he continued. “I offer my support in any way to the family of Ms. Halyna Hutchins during this time of tragic loss.”“Whoever handed the loaded gun to Alec Baldwin should be held responsible to some level.”
Hutchins, 42, had worked on indie features like “Archenemy,” “Blindfire” and “The Mad Hatter,” and had been selected as one of American Cinematographer magazine’s rising stars of 2019. She was working on the western film “Rust,” starring and produced by Baldwin, when she was shot.. “As is profoundly true in the art of cinematography, words alone cannot capture the loss of one so dear to the AFI community,” read a statement on its website.
Joel Souza, the director of “Rust,” was injured in Thursday’s incident and taken to a Santa Fe hospital but has since been discharged. A spokesperson for Baldwin said there was an accident on the set involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks, though it was unclear how that might have happened even while protocols for weapon and prop gun uses on movie sets are typically strict.
And Texas makes guns permitless after mass shootings in EL Paso and San Antonio.... Oh America
This tragedy happened in Arizona.
Will just end in more out-of-state productions...
And I’d wager not a single politician has any clue as to what regulations are already in place.
this should have been on the books a long time ago
That was fast, even for CA.
This kind of political theater is exactly why we’re so divided & helps nobody CASenateDems. The question of why an industry with strict protocols already in place should receive more restrictions while private ownership of guns are loosened is backwards & only fuels 2A rhetoric.
How is this legal in the first place? Americans have threatening issues that will destroy them. guncontrol USA
The ban on live ammunition should've been 'no fucking shit why would any producer think this was a good idea'
With all the modern technology, and computer graphics, can't they create a gun that looks real, and looks like it's really shooting? I mean really!
Imagine if they responded this fast to homelessness
shannonrwatts Does this same idea apply to schools, movie theaters, stores, concerts……
Way to take advantage of a tragedy for you own gain.
why? people kill people.
Guns are not the problem. Irresponsible idiots are the problem.
That was quick. And why were they using real guns in the first place?
It took someone to get killed for this to happen? Why wasn't a law passed sooner? Like when Brandon Lee was killed.
Duh Hollyweird is lazy leaning on violence and explosions in lieu of better dialog and storylines. And they glorify gunplay for profit. And using real guns is obviously moronic.
