The article Martin linked recounts a pretty troubled production where all safety strings are off. Guns that are apparently loaded with blanks, whereas the actor was ensured the gun was cold, resulting in accidental shots being fired... I guess once that happened, stuff should've already been prematurely shut down, because at least someone wasn't doing their job.
All in all, this whole situation looks like a bunch of traditional incompetence heaped up together, something that probably would never have happened if the crew was made up of competent management and a professional, seasoned shooting crew. If they managed to replace their camera team who walked off due to safety complaints within a few hours, they probably replaced other people who brought security concerns to mind, all to save a few nickles and dimes left and right.
Having read this, I guess I'll boycott this movie as much as I can, if it eventually will be released. I think, we really shouldn't sponsor such kind of production companies that put their own profits before the safety of those that work for them.
