GEORGE CLOONEY TRAGIC STORY!
George Clooney recently addressed the devastating on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the filming of “Rust” on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast. He drew parallels between this tragic event and the death of his friend Brandon Lee in 1993, who died from an accidental shooting on the set of “The Crow.”
In his discussion, Clooney underscored his adherence to stringent safety measures, such as meticulously inspecting firearms before their use. He voiced criticism towards the lack of experience exhibited by the armorer on the set of “Rust” and highlighted the challenges in differentiating between dummy bullets and live rounds.
Clooney characterized these incidents as a blend of avoidable errors and heartrending tragedies. He advocated for heightened safety protocols on film sets, a sentiment echoed by Eliza Hutton and Alec Baldwin. Both Hutton and Baldwin emphasized the urgent need for industry-wide changes to bolster on-set safety in the wake of these distressing events.
