LOS ANGELES — Two of Hollywood’s biggest unions are blaming the major studios for failing to enact legislation that would regulate guns guns on movie sets after the October shooting on the “Rust” movie set.
The Directors Guild of America and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, the latter representing crew members such as gaffers, makeup artists and costumers, said they were disappointed that they couldn’t reach an agreement with the Motion Picture Association on legislation that would impose new requirements on training and qualifications for armorers, as well as penalties for those breaching safety protocols.
