I'm sure he's unbothered. He's a bad person.

He doesn't seem to be a very empathetic person. But there are photos of him looking totally distraught and keeled over in a parking lot. He's got a history of violence but it seems like this was a terrible accident and he's not okay.

If he’s distraught about anything, it’s how he’s going to get out of this. That’s all.

Says who? Don the traitor?

The photos I have seen from right outside the Sheriff's office is keeled over, crying and looks in severe pain.

I don't care what you think of him, you can't deny it is an awful, awful accident that he is going to feel responsible for the rest of his life (even though the prop was not his fault). How absolutely horrifying to know you killed people, without intent or malice.

This has all the earmarks of either a prank gone wrong, or deliberately shooting a blank at someone in a fit of anger or whatever.


In any case, as someone who’s worked on a set with that guy, I hope this is his final screw up.

Any vignettes to share about your experiences on set with him?

Blanks are only deadly at close range, why was Alec pointing a gun at the these people at such close range? Why was Alec pointing a gun at the DP and Director anyway?

Lots of questions to be answered here.

Were they behind the camera?

Also, I understand that blanks are supposed to be fired OVER the actor/target person; not directly at them.

Was he firing into the camera?

I imagine there are scenes where the actor fires at/toward the camera. Think of how many times the camera looks down the barrel of a gun for dramatic effect.

Didn't you read the whole thread?

They just had to read to the fourth comment of the thread…

You do not know that this was not Alec's fault due to negligence.

It seems really unlikely that a blank would tear right through a cameraman and then maim a person standing behind her.

Not really. If it was being aimed at the camera, it could’ve sliced/nicked her neck/artery and then hit the director behind her.

It’s just sad all around

Per long-established safety protocols, scenes like that are typically shot with un-crewed cameras. Even blanks discharge a fireball and muzzle blast, and for that reason, no one is directly in front of them.

He would have had to have his finger on the trigger, pull it all while aimed at people. Sigh. Idiot

Not Baldwins fault. Whoever is suppose to make sure it's safe is the only one to blame.

Nope, 100% wrong.

Yes, Brandon Lee while filming The Crow. Such an incredible performance, he was going to be a huge star. The original cut of the film actually included the moment where he was shot.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/22/entertainment/brandon-lee-family-speaks-out-halyna-hutchins-death-intl-scli/index.html

For Brandon Lee, what happened was there was a bullet head stuck inside the barrel before it was used. The pressure from the blank actually pushed out the stuck bullet head which hit Brandon at close range.

“bullet head”

Gawd I love hearing DCUM trying to explain things they don’t understand but think they’re still experts about.

Blanks can kill too. They're effectively bullets with the actual bullet tip removed. It can still propel a fragment of material at high speed.

What is wrong with their brief description? I'm not a gun owner, so I appreciate their input.

As people have explained, he's the producer and bears ultimate responsibility to ensure that safety regulations are adhered to on set.

Gotta love DCUM experts.

Seriously! People are so evil here trashing Alec after Alec shot them. Horrible.

FIFY

It's a bullet tip, not a bullet head. Don't comment about guns if you know nothing about them.
