Dwayne Johnson's production company 'won't use real guns at all' after Halyna Hutchins' tragic death

Dwayne Johnson had to handle firearms for Netflix's comedic action thriller Red Notice, also starring Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, but according to Variety's Elizabeth Wagmeister, the 49-year-old movie star will not use real firearms on projects for his Seven Bucks production company moving forward.

Johnson's decision comes after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was accidentally killed on the New Mexico set of indie Western film Rust when Alec Baldwin misfired a prop gun. Director Joel Souza was also injured.

"First of all, I was heartbroken," Johnson told Variety at the Los Angeles premiere of Red Notice on Wednesday night (Nov. 3). "We lost a life. My heart goes out to her family and everybody on set. I've known Alec, too, for a very long time."

The Ballers star continued: "I can't speak for anyone else, but I can tell you, without an absence of clarity here, that any movie that we have moving forward with Seven Bucks Productions—any movie, any television show, or anything we do or produce—we won't use real guns at all. We're going to switch over to rubber guns, and we're going to take care of it in post. We’re not going to worry about the dollars; we won’t worry about what it costs."
