Alec Baldwin Accidentally Kills Person on Movie Set

Yeah the 24 year old responsible was herself unsure of her ability:

"It was also my first time being head armorer as well," Gutierrez-Reed said. "I almost didn't take the job because I wasn't sure if I was ready, but, doing it, like, it went really smoothly."

"I think loading blanks was the scariest thing to me because I was like 'oh, I don't know anything about it,'" she said. But her famous father, she said, helped train her up."

 

not sure if this is directed at me, but ive called for trump to be arrested and put on trial for treason. i also think that as a producer, baldwin is going to be one of the people the family goes after. if they're looking for financial compensation for her death its going to come from the producers.

 

based on what we know, baldwin the actor bears no responsibly here. but when the family decides to sue its going to be the producers they come after and that includes baldwin. that was my point.

theyre not going to sue some 24 year old girl...she doesnt have any money. they're going to sue the people who funded the movie as they're the ones with the money.

 

Sure. I’m just saying execs are about credit or financing. They don’t run productions. This falls on the upm and AD.

 

which is exactly why if her family decides to sue, the producers will be the ones they go after.

 

Joe Biden's America ladies and gentlemen, thanks, Joe.

 

Full article, while supportive doesn't look good for her. It also doesn't go into any details,just describes her.

Guilty....of spreading the clap in the trailer park.

Her career is probably ruined at this point. But she's still young enough to get a new career going as a biker old lady, biker bar beer girl, biker magazine model, biker something something, etc.

 

Bonus points for Poe and Raven tat? Bonus points for ... public restroom selfies? That's all I got. Trying to be positive here.

 

Single live round.

 

This may have been answered already, but why is there a need to use live rounds on a movie set? Even blanks need to be handled with care of course, but I don't get why movie scenes can't be made without the use of real bullets.

 

Sounds like Baldwin is not going to host SNL any time soon.

 

This story makes me sick to my stomach. I can't imagine being involved and having to live with this for the rest of my life.

 

Fixed

 

Actually, not. Some people on social media, even a few political talking heads believe he should face criminal charges and pointing a type of hypocrisy they believe he had without previous President. They said he should be accountable for his actions. It's pretty complex situations, especially given people walking off the set for being over worked, as it was, which goes way above Alec. I'm pretty sure he didn't intend to kill or hurt, anyone. It's a gross accident that he is not exactly responsible for on his behalf, because there's a protocol with guns being fired and I have honest belief that it's not something that is practiced, regularly on movie sets.

Moreover, there are people pushing for more further and more extensive regulations, immediately. Yet, there are certain communities of fans who are already complaining about more CGI gunshots being used in movie and make the overall quality of the movie, worse. Yeah, I'd say where are some people's priorities.


Besides, what kind of "shitty" person would he be to make jokes about murdering, shooting, or killing someone on a movie set. That seems like a very traumatic experience. Alec is considered a hot-head, and a loud-mouth, but I'm pretty sure he's cognizant enough to avoid doing something silly, like that, especially for entertainment. I'd think most people wouldn't, but I could be very much wrong.

 

Criminally, maybe the armorer is at risk. But in civil, the production company should absolutely be sued. The legal structure if the company might shield producers from personal financial responsibility. But probably the company will be bankrupt and the movie won't be finished unless they were very far along. Maybe producers should be sued individually too because they were responsible for the unsafe work conditions. If they can do it, I don't think Baldwin's particular responsibilities as a producer matter; it should be easy to show he was aware of unsafe conditions and was negligent in addressing them.

 

What an unneccessary tragedy... condolences to everyone involved. I feel for both parties, I can't imagine having to live with the guilt for the rest of your life, accidient or not. Your life will never be the same ever.

I know nothing about gun prop procedure, but does common sense tells you to test out at least one round of ammunition by shooting at the ground or whatever? I would do that if I feel anyway, uncomfortable handling a prop gun on a set.

 

You're totally right. Insensitive bastards. It's easy to distance yourself from a story in the media. I'm sorry I made jokes. .

 

Wow. Those are listed alphabetically. There are 6 producers (including Baldwin), 1 co-producer (whatever that is), and 5 executive producers. It's bizarre, at least to me, that there are that many individuals wearing those hats. While it may be common practice today, I don't think it used to be.
