That would be a weird western if the lead character wasn’t allowed to point his “loaded weapon” at anyone.


Again, angles are always used so that you are never pulling a trigger directly at someone. You drive down the road toward someone every day, but you don’t drive straight into them. It’s a fairly basic concept.

I still think the overlooked issue is this was possibly a setup.

Meaning, someone was really pissed off at them, as stated a lot of people were walking off the production. A bunch due to safety issues, and I would imagine a bunch also about not getting paid (or paid enough, etc).

Someone might have held a grudge, and decided they would frick "those bastards" but good. They knew the armorer was incompetent and probably just got her job screwing someone (maybe Baldwin himself), they knew all sorts of corners were being cut. Load a few rounds into the revolver, Baldwin would shoot a wall with live ammo, the whole production gets shut down and he gets fined and embarrassed. Show them for not paying what they should have... but the incompetence and corner cutting was worse then they anticipated and somebody got killed.

What I'm saying is not that Baldwin isn't at fault or responsible, but I don't think he'd ever intentionally frick around with a loaded gun and point it at someone. I don't think he knew what was going on at a lot of levels, paid the cheapest he could get to make this film, and everything went bad.

For the record, I do see on IMDB or somewhere, the movie is still in the works. I looked it up, and Jensen Ackles has left the cast, but he's been replaced with somebody else as of May 2023. So as recently as 7 months ago, they were still trying to finish it.
