people - Jella Haase: Baldwin's Death Shoot a Big Theme at Film Sets
Jella Haase (31), Star of the shooting-intensive Netflix series "Kleo," was deeply affected by the fatal shot from Hollywood star Alec Baldwin during filming. "There's no film set in the world where Alec Baldwin's fatal shot hasn't been discussed," Haase told the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" (NOZ). "When the news came out, we fought all day on 'Kleo' for a very difficult fight scene. And suddenly we were highly sensitized."
During the filming of the series "Kleo," whose second season has been online since Thursday, safety protocols were also adjusted on the same day, Haase said, who plays a hard-boiled former East German contract killer in "Kleo." "We swore clear rules right away: We have to name our limits. We have to say when we're exhausted. We can't overdo it during fight scenes."
"It's incredible that this could happen"
No one could understand how such an error could have occurred on the set of Baldwin's film "Rust." "There are weapons masters who prioritize safety. There shouldn't be any sharp ammunition on set at all," Haase said. "In every single case where someone hands me a weapon, I'm shown in detail that it's not loaded. It's incredible that this could happen."
Haase also thinks about violence in films and series in general: If you play with it, you have to ask yourself if it's really okay. "And why such a character brings us so much joy. I think it's precisely because of the exaggeration. Through over-exaggeration, violence becomes something abstract."
Surprisingly, a process for involuntary manslaughter was instituted against Alec Baldwin in mid-July. In 2021, a fatal shot was fired on the set of the Western "Rust" when Baldwin discharged a revolver as directed by the director. However, instead of harmless blank cartridges, live ammunition was discharged. A bullet hit the camera woman Halyna Hutchins. The 42-year-old died from her injuries.
