There Were Reportedly A Lot Of Problems On The Set Of “Rust” Before The Prop Gun Shooting That Killed Halyna Hutchins
It’s been a couple of days since the horrible on-set fatal accident that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and put director Joel Souza in the hospital, and now details are coming out about how things were messy on set days leading up to the shooting. The movie Rust, which stars Alec Baldwin (he’s also a producer), Frances Fisher, Jensen Ackles, and Travis Fimmel, began filming on October 6 in New Mexico. And The Los Angeles Times reports that on the day of the accident, about a half-dozen members of the crew had enough of the shitty working conditions and walked off the set. They had many complaints including relaxed and sloppy safety protocols. One camera operator reportedly complained to the production manager about the lack of gun safety on the set, but nothing was done.
