Did this movie in a way, ruin Alex Proyas' career due to the circumstances behind Brandon Lee's death?

Destroy his career ? Dark City was brilliant, the fact he stopped doing interesting films after Dark City and abandoned the kind of style that he excelled at is what hampered his career.

Gods of Egypt was pretty atrocious.

On shoots, the director is ultimately responsible for the safety of the cast and crew. There’s a precedent in the Midnight Rider/Randall Miller case for the director being sent to prison for involuntary manslaughter and his producers and APs being sentenced to fines and probation when Sarah Jones was struck and killed by a train during a scene on a track on a bridge, I believe. Interesting in this case because Joel Souza, the director, was also shot in the accident.

Speaking of which, unless they were both somehow injured by blanks, somebody put live ammo in the prop gun and the police need to figure that ish out ASAP.
