On the set of Alec Baldwin's film, a cameraman died as a result of a shooting incident, the director suffered a collarbone injury.
A critical operator was hospitalized, but later died in hospital.
The gunman was Baldwin himself.
In an interview with the Public News Service, the film critic expressed the opinion that this incident would not affect the career of a Hollywood star.
“A similar story happened on the set of The Raven with Brandon Lee. The weapons coordinator put too much gunpowder in the cartridge. And in films they shoot not with blanks, but with a loaded cartridge, it's just that there is not enough gunpowder and the cartridge had to fall. Then the coordinator made a mistake and died on the set of Brandon Lee. I admit that this is exactly the same error. The shot of a blank cartridge is always visible, professionals will distinguish it. This is a mistake of the coordinator and pyrotechnics, due to which the bullet flew more distance and hit the operator, who was standing in the same direction. This will not affect Alec Baldwin's career. It is clear that the weapons coordinator and pyrotechnics are being fired, but this does not affect the actors' careers, ”Shneiderov said.
Earlier it was reported that Alec Baldwin voluntarily came to the police station after an incident on the set of a film in New Mexico, which resulted in the death of director of photography Galina Hutchins.
