Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, cited a tweet of Baldwin’s last year supporting Black Lives Matter protesters in which Baldwin said he was going to make T-shirts that read: “My hands are up. “Literally not one single thing that Alec Baldwin has said about Donald Trump and his supporters is going to age well,” tweeted conservative commentator Candace Owens. Not Alec Baldwin.”Īnd yet, as director Gigi Saul Guerrero observed, Baldwin has been the “face to this tragic story.” The 63-year-old actor, a vocal advocate of gun-law reforms, has been widely mocked by the far-right on social media. “We don’t need real guns, we can make replicas, and we have CGI. “There should not have been a loaded gun on set,” actor Riley Keough wrote on Instagram. In the aftermath of Hutchins’ death, many in the film industry have argued that real guns should be replaced entirely by computer-generated effects. Russell was unsure whether the weapon was checked before it was handed to Baldwin. In the affidavit, cameraman Reid Russell said Baldwin had been careful with weapons. Neither Gutierrez-Reed nor Halls have responded to requests for comment on the shooting. Goll said Halls disregarded safety protocols for weapons and pyrotechnics and tried to continue filming after the supervising pyrotechnician, who was diabetic, lost consciousness on set. Prop maker Maggie Goll on Sunday said she filed an internal complaint in 2019 over concerns about Halls’ behavior on the set of Hulu’s “Into the Dark” series. In an email statement to The Associated Press, a producer for the movie “Freedom’s Path” confirmed Monday that Halls was fired from the 2019 production after a crew member suffered a minor injury “when a gun was unexpectedly discharged.” The producer, who asked not to be identified by name, wrote that Halls “was removed from the set immediately.” Production did not resume until Halls was gone. Souza said the movie’s guns were usually checked by armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and then again by Halls.Īt least two people have aired doubts about Halls’ safety record. It’s not clear yet where the gun-handling protocol failed. Souza, who was wounded by the shot, said the scene did not call for the use of live rounds. In an affidavit released Sunday night, the film’s director, Joel Souza, said Baldwin was rehearsing a scene in which he drew a revolver from his holster and pointed it toward the camera, which Hutchins and Souza were behind. The film’s director of photography was killed and the director was injured.
The prop firearm was discharged by actor Alec Baldwin while filming “Rush” in Santa Fe, N.M., according to authorities.
