Hundreds of photographers call for a ban on guns in filming due to murder

Previously, a major accident occurred on the set of the movie "Rust". The leading actor Alec Baldwin used a prop gun to fire during filming. The live bullet hit the female photographer Halyna Hutchins, causing her unfortunate death. The film company said it was a gun malfunction.

Now, according to foreign media hollywoodreporter, 200 photographers in Hollywood film and television signed a statement calling for a ban on the use of actually usable firearms for filming. These photographers include Greig Fraser (Dune), Rachel Morrison (Black Panther), Ed Lachman (Carol), Mandy Walker (Mulan), Alice Brooks (In the Heights), etc. They issued a joint statement through Instagram.

The statement said Halina's death was caused by negligence and was actually avoidable. They called on unions, filmmakers and legislators to take immediate action to ban operational firearms in filming. "We hope not to put ourselves and the crew in such unnecessary deadly situations." We will no longer use operational firearms to present effects when filming, but choose safer solutions, such as using non-operable firearms and special effects instead.

"We will not wait for the industry to change, we have the responsibility to influence change within the industry." The statement also said that if Halina witnessed a similar tragedy during her lifetime, she would take similar actions and call for a change in the status quo.
