California state Sen. Dave Cortese says he will introduce legislation to prevent accidental shootings on movie sets and in theatrical productions.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, one of American Cinematographer’s Rising Stars, was killed on the set of ‘Rust.’ Here’s everything we know so far.“It is important that California establish new safety standards and best practices for all those who work in the industry and particularly in our own state,” he said. “Those working behind the scenes to entertain and bring joy to millions all over the world shouldn’t go to set worrying if they will return home safely to their family.
“I intend to introduce legislation that would ban live ammunition on sets in California to prevent this type of senseless violence and loss of life,” he continued. “I offer my support in any way to the family of Ms. Halyna Hutchins during this time of tragic loss.”“Whoever handed the loaded gun to Alec Baldwin should be held responsible to some level.”
Hutchins, 42, had worked on indie features like “Archenemy,” “Blindfire” and “The Mad Hatter,” and had been selected as one of American Cinematographer magazine’s rising stars of 2019. She was working on the western film “Rust,” starring and produced by Baldwin, when she was shot.. “As is profoundly true in the art of cinematography, words alone cannot capture the loss of one so dear to the AFI community,” read a statement on its website.
Joel Souza, the director of “Rust,” was injured in Thursday’s incident and taken to a Santa Fe hospital but has since been discharged. A spokesperson for Baldwin said there was an accident on the set involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks, though it was unclear how that might have happened even while protocols for weapon and prop gun uses on movie sets are typically strict.
