And do people really care that much about the realism?
John Wick is great because of it, but the actors took extensive training.
So I think the agreement should be if you have extensive firearms training, you should be allowed to use live weapons on set. If you don't, it has to be VFX.
But still, no matter whether it is a live weapon or not, verified empty, verified full, etc, etc....there is ZERO excuse for pointing ANY gun in the direction of the people working on the set.
Zero. Baldwin should be charged. If you speed and kill someone, you get charged. If you put a gun in the direction of someone, and there is a discharge, you should get charged. End of story.
The irony. He wanted to remove guns from society because people can't be trusted with them, but he himself can work with 'live' weapons, and even put multiple people in harms way without repercussions. If he's done it on this set, he's done it on all sets IMO. Every single person I know who has no common sense when it comes to gun safety is unsafe all the time, with all guns.
