One of multiple live bullets found on the set of “Rust” by investigators of the 2021 fatal shooting was discovered in the bandolier of actor Jensen Ackles, according to crime scene technician Marissa Poppell.
Poppell disclosed the detail while on the stand during the second day of testimony in the involuntary manslaughter trial of actor Alec Baldwin, nearly three years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on the New Mexico set of the Western film.
Asked about the live rounds of ammunition that were discovered on set, Poppell said investigators found some on a prop cart, in a box of ammo and also in two prop gun holsters — the one worn by Alec Baldwin and another worn by co-star Ackles.
stop making movies with guns people. it’s not that hard. no need to glorify gun violence.
This is a weird take. Guns appear in fiction a lot, and they can be important to a lot of plots.
I think the line can just be drawn at “never use real guns or ammo on a set, use prop guns”.
I read it kind of as that, “stop [producing] movies [while using] [real] guns!” Or something
“no need to glorify gun violence” definitely implies “stop making any movies depicting guns at all”
This is definitely one of the opinions of all time.
That’s certenly a take.
Yes never show guns, the century old weapons of destruction. Not mentioning violence will make the next generation peaceful and prosperous
Or they could just use non-firing guns.
Or the armorer could actually do their job and not hand a loaded gun to the actor and call it a cold gun.
