  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The issue is that you are oversimplifying. The producers of a movie tend to be those that are putting up the money and they frequently make the initial decisions, about how their money will be spent (so who will direct, where they will shoot, etc). Once the movie starts filming the producers aren't really involved -- the director becomes the "captain" and is the one responsible for what happens on set (and is why John Landis was one of those charged with the deaths during the Twilight Zone movie shoot).

Of course, the real issue here is the prosecution (or maybe just the police, it is unclear), who seemingly tried to hide exculpatory evidence.

eh.... Not quite. "Producer" is an overly-broad title (like "engineer" in my world) that can mean a lot of different things. It can mean "financier" and it can mean "manager." The director is responsible for getting the movie made and most (all-ish?) of the creative decisions. Non-creative things like safety protocols, meal breaks, facilities, etc are still very much in the bailiwick of a managerial sort of producer.

You really think Baldwin wasn't calling the shots on how the overall production was being run?

I had to double check, but Baldwin wasn't just a silent partner. This was kind of his baby. He worked with the director to create the story and his production company was producing it.

I think I’m coming down on “morally responsible, not legally culpable“, for Baldwin.

Plenty of stories from the set about him swanning about like a big shot (ooh, phrasing!).

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the former Rust armorer convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 fatal shooting on the film set, pleaded guilty Monday to carrying a firearm into a downtown Santa Fe dive bar.

She was accused of taking a gun into The Matador, an underground bar at the corner of Galisteo and East San Francisco streets on Oct. 1, 2021, about 20 days before the shooting disrupted the Rust production at a movie ranch south of Santa Fe.

State District Judge T. Glenn Ellington sentenced her to 18 months of supervised probation, which will be served concurrent with her 18-month prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter.
