Makes you think about how many low budget productions are done half assed just like this one, except without the big star involved. Probably amazing there haven't been many more deaths in the industry.
I did a quick google, and saw this article posted the other day about film set safety.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-...dwin-shooting/
The Associated Press, in an investigation of accidents on U.S. film and television sets in 2016, found that at least 43 people have died on set since 1990 and more than 150 have suffered life-altering injuries. It tallied at least 37 people who have died in filming accidents outside the United States since 2000 and “many more” who were seriously injured.
Of course just like the sexual assaults in the business there is always the fear of not working.
"Prosecutions were rarely pursued, the outlet noted, as “most workers are legally barred from suing, and those that do encounter the reluctance of witnesses to come forward for fear of being rendered unemployable in the ultracompetitive entertainment industry.”
This will hopefully become more the standard now:
Others in the industry said there was no reason for guns to be loaded with blanks — or anything else — on set, given what’s possible in postproduction work. “There’s computers now,” Craig Zobel, a filmmaker known for his work on such productions as the HBO series, “The Mare of Easttown,” wrote on Twitter. “The gunshots [on my series] are all digital. You can probably tell, but who cares? It’s an unnecessary risk.” |
Hasn't it been known forever that a lot of the people working on the various jobs on set, union or otherwise are always treated like ####?
I mean you have multiple examples of sexual assault, injuries on set that get covered up, harassment, ####ty work conditions, ####ty work environment, and then all these rich actors want to get up and tell the world how the rest of us are doing it all wrong. Screw them all.
