Tax breaks. That's usually the deciding factor as to where a movie films these days. Some states like Georgia give you a free ride of no taxes. Taking the jobs supplying the film, hotels, catering etc. workers, companies are happy for the work. The state then collect tax from the workers paychecks.

From an interview with an eyewitness to the shooting, it sounds like one shot hit both victims.

And in all those years no one ever mentioned that you should handle every gun as though it’s a hot gun, you arrogant asshole?

Well but, if the director tells you to point the gun at the camera and pull the trigger, are you supposed to say "no" because it's not good gun safety?

And it’s unclear to me that that’s what happened except in the imaginations of a couple of commenters in this thread. Is that what actually happened? |

I'm pretty sure all the John Wick movies would have sucked if Keanu did this.

It sounds like there are "real" guns loaded with blanks being fired all day every day on studio sets. Gonna guess they aren't all being fired while pointing at down-range targets. Assuming Baldwin was using this gun in the filming of a scene, and not just goofing off with it on his own, it seems hard to imagine holding him responsible in any way. Also, his personal political beliefs about guns have nothing to do with his willingness to use them on set. |

Dane will be along shortly to tell us first of all how none of us know anything about what goes on at movie sets and how he just got off the phone with Baldwin and what really happened.
Dane is our inside man. |
