Brandon Lee<\/a>‘s sister Shannon Lee is calling for live guns to be banned from film sets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brandon Lee was killed by a prop gun on the set of his movie ‘The Crow’<\/p>\n

Shannon’s actor brother – whose dad was late movie legend Bruce Lee – was just 28 when he was shot and killed by a prop gun while he was making 1994 movie ‘The Crow’ and she is adamant there needs to be a crackdown on movie set weapons following the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while making ‘Rust’ in 2021.<\/p>\n

She told the Guardian newspaper: “The circumstances are very similar. It really just makes you go, why is making a movie more important than a person\u2019s life?”<\/p>\n

Shannon added of a potential ban on live weapons on film sets: “I think that is not unreasonable. But if you\u2019re not going to do that, then I think you have to put laws and better safety measures in place than what exists currently.”<\/p>\n

Brandon’s shooting was ruled an accident due to negligence and no charges were ever brought over the incident. His mother Linda later filed a lawsuit against the filmmakers and it was settled for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n

\nThe death of Hutchins on the set of unreleased Western ‘Rust’ led to criminal charges being filed against the movie’s armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison.<\/p>\n

\nActor Alec Baldwin – who was holding the gun when it went off – has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and will stand trial in July.<\/p>\n

\nAfter the tragedy, Shannon put out a statement via her brother’s Twitter account sending her condolences to Hutchins’ family.<\/p>\n

\nThe message read: “Our hearts go out to the family of Halyna Hutchins and to [director] Joel Souza [who was injured] and all involved in the incident on ‘Rust’. No one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set. Period.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
