“Red Notice,” Dwayne Johnson’s latest Netflix picture, features three of the world’s top performers — Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot — and is one of several Hollywood films that incorporate guns in action-packed themes.

Johnson has now stated that no actual firearms will be allowed on the set of any of his films.

Following the tragic shooting on the set of “Rust,” which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Johnson informed Variety that he will never again allow actual guns on the set of any of his Seven Bucks film productions.

He expressed his “heartbreak” at the horrific Oct. 21 incident, in which actor and producer Alec Baldwin shot a crew member.

On-set, “Red Notice,” which will be available on the streaming site on Nov. 12, followed strict safety precautions, as do most productions.

“First of all, I was heartbroken,” Johnson said to Variety at the Los Angeles premiere of “Red Notice” on Wednesday night. “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.”

“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,” Johnson said to Variety.

“We’re going to switch over to rubber guns, and we’re going to take care of it in post[-production]. We’re not going to worry about the dollars. We won’t worry about what it costs,” he said.

Johnson’s remarks came amid mounting calls for the prohibition of functioning guns on movie sets.

The assistant director handed the firearm to Baldwin and said “cold gun,” suggesting that it was safe to use, according to authorities. However, it had live ammunition.

Johnson recounted that once word of Hutchins’ death surfaced, he was on the phone with his staff within a few hours to discuss what adjustments his organization needed to do to assure total safety moving forward.

Johnson stated, “I love the movie business. There are safety protocols and measures that we have always taken in the movie business and we take very seriously, and these sets are safe sets, and we’re proud of that. But accidents do happen. And when something like this happens of this magnitude, [that is] this heartbreaking, I think the most prudent thing and the smartest thing to do is just pause for a second and really re-examine how you’re going to move forward and how we’re going to work together.”

“Any movie we do that Seven Bucks does with any studio, the rule is we’re not going to use real guns. That’s it,” he continued.

The film’s armourer Hannah Guiterrez Reed’s lawyer has stated that the live bullet may have been inserted in the gun by a “disgruntled employee” while investigations are still ongoing.

Baldwin has been in contact with detectives over the phone, cheerfully answering their inquiries, according to both law enforcement and the actor.

The armorer revealed last week that she had inspected the gun Baldwin fired but had no idea how a live bullet got inside.

“Who put those in there and why is the central question,” Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the movie’s armorer, said in a statement released by one of her lawyers, Jason Bowles of Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Hannah kept guns locked up, including throughout lunch on the day in question (Oct. 21), and she instructed her department to watch the cart containing the guns when she was pulled away for her other duties or on a lunch break.”
