Eliza Hutton, the fiancée of actor Brandon Lee, spoke out on Alec Baldwin’s western set after the tragedy. She calls on filmmakers to finally do without real weapons.
The tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the western “Rust” shakes Hollywood. The 42-year-old died after actor Alec Baldwin aimed a gun at her that was apparently accidentally loaded. This is the status quo at the moment, the course of events is still being investigated. The whole thing is reminiscent of the Brandon Lee case, who died in 1993 under similar circumstances on the set of the horror film “The Crow”. 28 years later, his then fiancée has spoken out.
The death of Halyna Hutchins is another “avoidable tragedy,” said Eliza Hutton, the US magazine “People”. “28 years ago I was devastated with shock and sadness because I had so senselessly lost the love of my life, Brandon Lee. Now my heart aches again, I feel for Halyna Hutchins’ husband, her son, and everyone who hurts leaves behind this avoidable tragedy. “
Hutton calls for alternatives to real guns on set
Brandon Lee, the son of kung fu legend Bruce Lee, died on March 31, 1993 during the last week of filming “The Crow”. He was killed by another actor who aimed at him with a gun that was not supposed to be loaded. Hutton and Lee’s wedding was planned for a good two weeks later. Hutton finally wants to see a change in filmmakers. “I urge everyone in power to look for alternatives to real weapons on set,” said the 57-year-old.
The producers of “Die Krähe” finished the film at that time despite the death of their main actor, used a double and, for the time, new types of computer animation to bring it to life for the last few pictures. It is not yet known how “Rust” will continue after the death of Halyna Hutchins. In an email to the crew, there was talk of a break and not the end of the production, reports US media. “During this crisis, we decided that we should stop filming, at least until the investigation was over,” it said.
