“It’s a bigger conversation about safety on set and what we are trying to achieve with that culture,” she added.įurther concerns were raised about Halls on Monday, after a producer who communicated with the Associated Press said Halls had been fired from a previous job after a gun went off on a previous film set and wounded a member of the crew.

“This situation is not about Dave Halls … It’s in no way one person’s fault,” Goll said, adding that there were larger issues about the wellbeing of crew that had to be addressed. Maggie Goll, a prop maker and licensed pyrotechnician, said she had raised concerns about Hall’s conduct on set with the executive producers of Hulu’s Into the Dark TV series in 2019. Halls was the subject of an internal complaint on a previous movie, it emerged over the weekend. They were unhappy with pay and conditions. It was Halls who gave Baldwin the gun, police said.Īffidavits released on Sunday night paint a picture of a dysfunctional and feuding set, where five crew members walked out last Thursday just hours before the fatal shooting at Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico. The film’s armourer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, checked prop weapons, and the assistant director, Dave Halls, rechecked them and handed them to the actors, Souza said. Moments before the accident, Baldwin was assured he was handling a “cold gun”, Souza told investigators. Hutchins and Souza were checking the camera angle.

Baldwin was sitting on a wooden church pew on the set and trying out a scene in which he would “cross-draw” a revolver from its holster. The cameras were not rolling at the time.
