it came above the horror story that is drivers to be inconvenienced because of some COP road closures. 

I would have thought the Acorn carbon capture story and the assurances offered by the UK Government would have mad more mileage and would maybe be worth highlighting on an hourly basis rather than Alex Baldwin. Wonder what the reporting would have bene like if it were William or Stephen....

The government's offered an assurance? f**k me sideways! No way!!! People will be talking about that for months.

Alec Baldwin really is the kunts kunt. 


He's turned an otherwise inconsequential movie into the most publicised movie of the year. Marketing skills are on point IMO.

On a serious note what are the chances of this film being completed and released? I'd say close to 0. The full production will be sued into bankruptcy.

"You want me to shoot the producer of my film for publicity?"

"Yes... and lotttts of money"

On the other hand, the film about the making of the film will probably do alright.

Donald Trump to play Baldwin and imply that he shot the DoP to cover up his involvement in The Big Steal.

Woman on the news just said : "One bit of solace for the family is that she died doing what she loved".
What is it with these c***s. 

I had heard she loved being shot tbf. Nothing she liked better than a good shooting.

"The head gun handler for the movie "Rust," which has made headlines after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by Alec Baldwin on set, revealed last month that she was worried about her experience level for her first job.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 24, told a podcast that she almost didn't take the job, her first as head armorer, because she wasn't sure if she was "ready" for it."

Armorer worried she wasn't ready for job.

I have a feeling that wee gem may be brought up should lawsuits ensue.

If it was true that a live round and not a blank was fired, that is something I don't understand unless it was intentional or incredibly reckless. If the gun hadn't been checked properly and there was something in the barrel that could have been fired off with a blank, that's negligence. If it was a live round that has to be manslaughter or murder. Haven't worked on film much, but in theatre everything that could be dangerous is disabled in case of a screwup, like if there's a hanging scene the rope is hiddenly split with a single thread joining the sections so if there's a screw up the actor won't actually get throttled. I've handed out guns to actors before but only ones that were disabled so they couldn't be fired, even with blanks. I've read quotes saying normal practice is that live rounds are normally totally verboten on set, which you'd expect, even in America. If the director ordered them to use live rounds to up the realism on the cheap, I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.

Last bit of news about this seems to be that the Assistant Director took the gun from the props department and gave it to Baldwin for use in rehearsal, telling him it wasn't loaded. Sounds like there wasn't much more he could've been expected to do without being a bit of a pain in the arse (admittedly that wouldn't be out of character).

There was a quote going around yesterday that Baldwin was furious when he was told that it had been a live round in the gun, and was overheard saying that nobody had ever handed him a gun loaded with live ammo on a film set.

Interview here with a veteran movie set armourer who insists there's no reason for there to be live ammunition on set:
