The producers — including Baldwin — settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Hutchins’ widower, Matthew, and said they intend to complete the film to honor Hutchins’ memory.
Asked whether he supports resuming production, Ward said, “I’m all for it. I say, give the proceeds to the family and have a field day.” “The whole thing is challenging and complicated and messy,” said another crew member, who asked not to be identified out of concern over an NDA. “A lot of people around me were really hurt by those events.”“There’s just sort of a concern how I would emotionally respond to being in that space again,” he said. “I don’t know that I would do my job well.”
The crew member who felt traumatized by the production also said the idea of completing the film made her uneasy.
How are failures on set are being dealt w/moving forward? Seems Variety quietly sides w/UnionBusting Producer AlecBaldwin by omitting fact that Alec & his production team hired nonunion armorer & AD to save time (read:$) skirting Union safety protocols. MemberToMemberNews 1u
*responsible*
But, but, but he wasn't resonsible for what happened....
I’m afraid to say that the most money buys the verdict. Not directly. But look at nascar driver/owner Tony Stewart. He intentionally rammed down a driver who bumped him (that’s normal in racing), and he killed the young man. Charges? No way! He’s rich and bought the best firm.
Wounded one. Killed another.
Alec Baldwin shot two people, killing one, on a set that he was producing. If a college basketball player get into a fight at a bar the head coach is held responsible. How does Alec get to avoid responsibility?
Shut it down permanently
Seriously. I don’t think audiences are interested, and the ones who are would be morbidly so.
Who would ever watch that tainted movie?
Anyone who has ever been trained to handle a gun knows that this was no 'freak accident.' A gun doesn't just go off. He had to have his finger on the trigger for this event to have occurred, and no amount of denial will change that.
And Alec Baldwin thinks this will provide him a much-needed shot to boost his career.
