Dwayne Johnson’s new movie for Netflix, “Red Notice” stars three of the biggest celebrities on the planet — Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot — and is one of many Hollywood films that feature firearms for the sake of action-packed storylines.
“Red Notice,” which launches on the streaming service on Nov. 12, followed very strict safety protocols on-set. But after the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, on Alec Baldwin’s film “Rust” Johnson is pledging to stop using real firearms on all projects that are produced by his company, Seven Bucks Productions.
“We’re going to switch over to rubber guns, and we’re going to take care of it in post,” he said. “We’re not going to worry about the dollars” said The Rock.
Johnson’s comments come amid growing calls to ban functional firearms on Hollywood sets I for one am happy to see DJ leading the charge on this front. His production company, Seven Bucks Productions does a lot of big business with film, TV, and streaming productions. He’s cooking on this one! See a clip of his new movie “Red Notice” here.
