Rupert Sanders’ “The Crow” avoids real guns after Brandon Lee’s accidental death on original set

Utilizing Airsoft guns rather than actual firearms is a huge step toward ensuring set safety for Rupert Sanders’ upcoming “The Crow” revival. This choice demonstrates Sanders’ dedication to averting the misfortunes that have beset earlier motion picture endeavors, including the unintentional shooting of Brandon Lee in the 1994 film adaption and the lethal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the “Rust” set in 2021.

Sanders’ 2022 adaptation of “The Crow” stars Bill Skarsgård as revenge-seeking Eric Draven in a gritty, plot-driven story. Sanders made it clear that keeping everyone safe was his first concern and insisted on the usage of non-firing weaponry to reduce the possibility of mishaps. “There were no firearms on the set,” Sanders clarified. “Everything consisted of rubber decoys or Airsoft with

not a mechanism for shooting.”

This strategy is in line with a larger industry push to ban actual firearms from movie sets. Dwayne Johnson is among the numerous actors and filmmakers who have vowed to utilize rubber pistols for extra safety in the wake of the “Rust” disaster. Sanders’ dedication to this idea in spite of financial limitations highlights the industry’s rising emphasis on establishing safer working conditions for all parties involved in film production.
