How about whoever hired the scab inexperienced underpaid armorer who put the bullet in the gun?
He’s got huge civil liability on this one
He has a great Trump imitation. But clearly he sucks ass as a producer
Criminally I agree. Although I have heard some lawyers say he’s not out of the woods on manslaughter
This.
It’s doubtful that Baldwin, even as a producer was involved in below the line personnel decisions and hiring of the crew. Thats on the Line Producer and UPM. However as a producer and the lead actor he surely was aware of the fact that the union camera crew walked off the show and was more than likely aware of the reported gun misfires earlier in the week. He had the power in both of his positions as producer and star to shut the whole show down until they made things right with the crew, including their safety concerns and he didn’t.
As someone who knows nothing about movie production, I am surprised that the person who pulls the trigger isn’t responsible for the impact of their actions
I’ve seen lots of guns fired in movies, but never thought about this concept before
Sucks all around

The Russian chick wasn’t a camera. Why was the gun even aimed at her?
As someone that works behind the camera, it could have been you.How many times do you need to be told a fact before you learn something?

Which is why he knows more about this type of thing than any of you yahoos. Myself included, I spend very little time on set.
In other news I got dailies for a scene with a gun yesterday, nobody was injured and nobody died. My crew is professional and we don’t cut corners when it comes to safety.
I read somewhere the armorer was the daughter of someone important and there were already concerns about her competence.
Yes, it could have been me. Though the last thing I shot that involved guns, fake guns and digital muzzle flashes have been used. Just as well, since the scene called for the shootee POV angle.
Again, there are scenes where actors point guns at the camera or slightly off. Which is were a director and DP normally sit.
