These comments were made during a conversation at the Boulder International Film Festival on Saturday night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201c30 Rock\u201d actor also suggested that several filing lawsuits now are targeting \u201cdeep pockets litigants\u201d because they\u2019re \u201cfinancially motivated\u201d according to The Hollywood Reporter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFrom the beginning, from the moment this happened, everybody has put out \u2014 besides all the anguish and the suffering, horrible feelings we have and, of course, there are two victims and nobody else is a victim, so to speak \u2014 we have dealt with a situation where specific people are not as interested in finding out what really happened,\u201d the 63-year-old said during the interview, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/alec-baldwin-rust-tragedy-boulder-film-festival-panel-1235105310\/\"><span>according to<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0the outlet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat you have is a certain group of litigants on whatever side, who their attitude is, well, the people who likely seem negligent have enough money. And the people who have money are not negligent, but we\u2019re not gonna let that stop us from doing what we need to do in terms of litigation. Why sue people if you\u2019re not going to get money? That\u2019s what you\u2019re doing,\u201d Baldwin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/alec-baldwin-hopeful-we-will-not-be-held-criminally-responsible-for-on-set-shooting-death\">added<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That\u2019s when Baldwin made the comparison between tragic accidents in the film industry compared to other places that see more death on average.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He asked the audience to \u201cthink of all the billions of rounds of ammunition that were fired on movie and TV sets in the last 75 years, and four people have died\u201d and \u201ccompare that record to the opioid industry, the airline industry, the automobile industry, the gun industry itself,\u201d THR reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The actor discussed \u201cthe safety record of the film and television industry\u201d and recounted how his own Hollywood career had previously \u201cbeen without incidents\u201d and he\u2019d \u201cnever had a problem\u201d relying on \u201cthe safety experts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen someone whose job it is to ensure the safety of the weapon hands someone else whose job was to be the secondary layer of protection for safety, and they hand it over to and you declare that that weapon is safe \u2014 that\u2019s how I\u2019ve lived my whole life,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve relied on the safety experts there to declare the gun is safe and hand me the gun. Never had a problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Next, Baldwin predicted that movies in the near future would rely on computer-generated imagery rather than giving real guns to actors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe thing to remember is that guns are fired in films because that\u2019s what audiences want. Maybe not this crowd,\u201d he continued. \u201cMaybe not a festival crowd where you want to watch something that\u2019s a little more complicated. There\u2019s a place to modify the safety regulations we have to deal with and I\u2019m very much looking forward to our decisions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Finally, the \u201cMalice\u201d star discussed how his life had changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m very hopeful when the facts come out we will not be held criminally responsible, but it has changed my life. And I don\u2019t mean this in the ordinary sense that I was involved in something or somebody passed,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, I was involved in a situation with somebody was killed. It\u2019s changed my life just in terms of the function of weapons in films and television.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
