Film production and firearms experts say movie sets probably will change permanently now that actor Alec Baldwin has been charged in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust.”

His union, and his lawyer, say this onus can't be placed on performers.

Baldwin's defense attorney Luke Nikas said in a statement that he did his job by relying"on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds.”“It is incumbent on anybody that holds a gun to make sure that it is either not loaded or to know what it is loaded with," she said in an interview with The Associated Press."And certainly then to not point it at someone and pull the trigger. That’s where his actor liability, we think, comes in.

Her attorney Jason Bowles said in a statement that they would “bring the full truth to light and that she"will be exonerated of wrongdoing by a jury."Productions were already using digital effects to simulate the flash and bang of gunfire more often, but Hutchins' death has almost certainly sped the change along.

"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is speaking out for the first time, one week after the accidental death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Dillon said dummy rounds, prop bullets used in scenes where characters are shown loading guns, are more likely to result in mistakes like what happened on “Rust,” since they look like live ammunition and could be confused with them.

Parsons said the fact that it was misguided to blame the fact that “Rust” was a small-budget independent production. He said the pace and length of large studio productions can put crews in positions where accidents of all kinds can become more likely.

The only gun loaded with a lethal round should of been those use by security on the set……Why was a gun with a lethal round put into Baldwins possession?
