Alec Baldwin Trial: New video shows entire scene which Baldwin pulls gun

Alec Baldwin Trial: New video shows entire scene which Baldwin pulls gun
In this case, this unique case on *** movie set, the prop gun was placed in Mr Baldwin's hands and cold gun was announced, meaning it had been checked and double checked by those responsible to ensure the gun was safe. It was just *** prop. They all thought it was just *** prop and could do no harm. The actor's job is to act, to rehearse, to choreograph his moves to memorize his lines. He's Harlan Rust, he's an outlaw running for his life who in the incident, in question, he's pulling *** six shooter to try to defend himself. That's why the gun has to be safe before it gets into the actor's hands. His mind is somewhere else in the being of another *** century away, an outlaw. He must be able to take that weapon and use it as the person he's acting with to wave it to point it to pull the trigger. Like actors do in ways that would be lethal in the real world but are not lethal on *** movie set. And I'm gonna show you that scene now before lunch and if we could just play action, right, I'm gonna go find some help. I don't need no damn help. You're gonna die. If I don't, he's wounded on the run. You play again. Continue all the rust. They just stand up nice and slow. Darcey weapon. Do you have? He's on the church pew, bleeding his hand, gripping the revolver. He would defend himself against the men in the movie. Play one more. You good. I'm ready. That's right. Yeah. All the rust. Did you get up? Nice and slow? Tossing the weapons you have, we get it right there. So we will wait to give you that line till he lands till Cameron lands. Ok? Which way? Camera right or left. So camera left for now, I'll stand right here for you. So whip it out. Ok. Well, let me get this. All greased. Ready. OK. Ready. OK. Ready, ready. And it said ready and is Russ? We want him to do it again. There's no danger. They want him to do it again and set out the T Ireland. Rest nice. It's *** scene similar to scenes we've all seen in movies and television performed by thousands of actors. And the scene that continues after lunch is the same scene. It's just not unfortunately captured on videotape.
