Part of me is excited (can you imagine seeing someone get blown away) and part of me is somber (dude, can you imagine seeing someone get blown away). I guess I'm not sure how to feel...and from all
reports neither did
Ethan Hawke.
He was shooting in Brooklyn, NY for his upcoming film
Brooklyn's Finest and decided to pop into a cafe with some of the crew to grab a bite to eat. Across the street 4 men in hoods gunned down 2 victims right before their eyes. According to Hawke:
"It's not even a joke... it was a full-blown assassination and they accidentally killed the guy cutting his hair - it was a woman cutting his hair. It was terrible. I stood there, like, an actor in a movie. I kept expecting the AD (assistant director) to go, 'Cut, cut...' The police shut the block down."
Lucky he wasn't hit. Personally, I think the guy is one of the finest actors working today and it would be a shame to lose him. Possible silver lining: he can draw emotion from this experience and use it in his latest film (cause I gotta be honest, it looks like a shitty Training Day II).
