Dwayne Johnson says that his productions will stop using real guns after the Rust tragedy. While on the red carpet with Variety for his new movie Red Notice, The Rock was asked about the heartbreaking situation with Halyna Hutchins being killed. He said that Seven Bucks productions won’t be using real firearms in any of their projects after the high-profile tragedy. Johnson also talked about how his team came together to try and find a better way to achieve better results when the news broke. Alec Baldwin was a star and a producer on Rust and had the prop firearm in his hands when the tragedy struck. Apparently, non-union workers were using the prop guns for target practice while on a break and an absence of safety checks directly led to Hutchins being shot and the director being rushed to the hospital. To prevent even the possibility, The Rock is going for the rubber guns and pledging to have visual effects sort it out.
.@TheRock pledges to end the use of real guns on all Seven Bucks Productions sets, following the death of Halyna Hutchins: “We’re going to switch over to rubber guns. We’re going to take care of it in post. We’re not going to worry about the dollars.” https://t.co/M232HP48fJ pic.twitter.com/owKGyg18m0
