Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is doing his part to make sure there are no accidents involving firearms on movie sets.
The actor/producer said he will no longer allow real guns on the set of his productions.
“I can’t speak for anyone else, but I can tell you, without an absence of clarity here, that any movie that we have moving forward with Seven Bucks Productions — any movie, any television show, or anything we do or produce — we won’t use real guns at all,” Johnson told Variety.
He said the rule will also apply on any set he or his company works on, CNBC reported.
Instead, he will use rubber guns in place of real weapons and will make adjustments during post-production.
“We’re not going to worry about the dollars; we won’t worry about what it costs,” Johnson told Variety.
Real guns that can fire, nonfuctioning guns, cap guns and weapons made of wood, plastic or rubber are all considered prop guns.
Live ammunition is usually only used during reality shows to test scientific theories and marksmanship competition shows. Otherwise, blanks or dummy rounds are used to get the sound of a gun firing, CNBC reported.
A live round was fired by Baldwin on the set of his upcoming moving “Rust.” The shot killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza, CBS News reported.
Baldwin was handed the gun by assistant director Dave Halls, who told investigators that he examined the weapon handed to him by the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and saw three rounds in the gun that he said were not live. He said he should have checked all the chambers and was not sure if the armorer spun the gun. He said he gave the gun to Baldwin, yelled “cold gun,’ indicating that no live rounds were in the gun, and Baldwin fired the weapon while rehearsing a scene, CBS News reported.
