Didn’t know that but I wonder what experience he has? If I was on a movie set Or anywhere and they handed me a revolver and said it was loaded with blanks I’d pull one out and look at it. Or just walk outside and blow one off in the ground. But I don’t think its fair to have that expectation for an actor with the exception of Keanu. đ
See post 41, the movie producer Baldwin had no reason to point at her, or to pull the trigger, they were not even filming the actual scene.
Many in the industry point out a lot of things Balwin got wrong in that shooting including not inspecting the gun in that rehearsal, not pointing it at the floor and pulling the trigger, pointing the gun at a human when the industry says use an angle (the camera compensates), or at least use a protective screen for the camera and person because of blanks and their bits, or an even a bullet.
George Clooney
“George Clooney has ripped Alec Baldwinâs deadly shooting of the âRustâ cinematographer as âinfuriatingâ and âinsaneâ â insisting the star and his crew appeared to ignore decades-old safety rules used on every other set.
“The âOceanâs Elevenâ star said that despite having âbeen on sets for 40 years,â he has never heard of some of the apparent safety measures Baldwinâs Western had used on the deadly set.
âFirst of all, Iâve never heard the term âcold gun,’â he said of the doomed safe word that Baldwin believed meant the Colt .45 he fired would not have live bullets.
Clooney, 60, also insisted that even after getting the all clear, every actor then takes additional steps to personally ensure the weapon is not loaded before they actually fire on set.
âEvery single time Iâm handed a gun on a set â every time â they hand me a gun, I look at it, I open it, I show it to the person Iâm pointing it to, we show it to the crew,â he told Maron.
âEveryone does it. Everybody knows,â he said.
