"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," confirmed Dwayne Johnson during the premiere of Red Notice.

He added that his company is not worried about what it costs. The actor added that he believes it is time for changes in the industry.
