James Gunn leads the tributes to Halyna Hutchins after the late cinematographer was accidentally fatally hit by a “prop gun” fired by Alec Baldwin.
The “Guardians of the Galaxy” filmmaker has led the tributes to the late cinematographer, who died aged 42 after a “prop gun” fired by Alec Baldwin on the set of ‘Rust’ accidentally fatally hit her, and left director-and-writer Joel Souza, 48, injured. James tweeted: “My heart goes out to all of those affected by the tragedy today on Rust, especially Halyna Hutchins & her family.
Sinister” screenwriter C. Robert Cargill heaped praise on the cinematographer’s work and described her death as a “tragic loss for cinema”.
He said: “I loved Halyna Hutchins’ work so much. It’s not only a tragic loss for cinema but to so many of you I know who worked with her. You and her family are all in my thoughts tonight. I’m heartbroken for you all.
My greatest fear is that someone will be fatally hurt on one of my sets. I pray this will never happen. My heart goes out to all of those affected by the tragedy today on Rust, especially Halyna Hutchins & her family.
