Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ camera crew walked off the set in protest before the fatal shooting

Labor trouble had been brewing for days on the dusty set at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe.

The cinematographer who was accidentally killed, Halyna Hutchins, had been advocating for safer conditions for her team, said one crew member who was on the set.

As the camera crew — members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees — spent about an hour assembling their gear at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, several nonunion crew members showed up to replace them, the knowledgeable person said.

A member of the producer staff then ordered the union members to leave the set. She said if they didn’t leave, the producers would call security to remove them.

“Corners were being cut — and they brought in nonunion people so they could continue shooting,” the knowledgeable person said.

There were two misfires on the prop gun on Saturday and one the previous week, the person said, adding “there was a serious lack of safety meetings on this set.”

The shooting occurred about six hours after the union camera crew left.

Baldwin, the film’s star who also served as a producer on the film, was apparently rehearsing a scene outside the church of the Bonzana Creek Ranch set...

The scene involved a gun fight that began in the church, and then Baldwin’s character was supposed to back out of the church, according to production notes obtained by The Times. It was the 12th day of a 21-day shoot.

As producer, let’s hope Baldwin is found criminally negligent for the incident. Or at a minimum liable for damages in a civil suit. Baldwin needs to meet karma.

Baldwin is a Hollywood leftist icon. Nothing will happen; move along comrade.

“Bruce Lee was killed by a movie mishap with a firearm.”

That was Bruce Lee’s son, whose name was Brandon of all things. Bruce Lee’s official cause of death was cerebral edema.

“I’ve only dealt with union techs a few times, but many of them were little bitches with chips on their shoulders.”

THEY ARE. Buncha’ overpaid drama queens. Every day they bitch about something. And that’s what everyone on set was talking about this morning. (yeah, I want that asshole to rot in jail). The SFX crew have their unions. It’s in the DGA contract that they get hired. It is obvious the producers went around hiring non- union. If this were a union set, the union would ASAP release a statement and get their boy the union-appointed lawyer. The producer AND set manager who are directly to blame. In this case, Arec Barwin is the producer of the movie.

His little world is over.

I do feel bad for the family of the young lady.

She met Arec’s nastiness and was murdered.

I belong to at least 3 unions on that set. They know Arec Barwin went around hiring non-union which pissed off mine (take your pick). That’s all we talked about this morning on-set.

I even took bets if he was going to jail. Please Dear Lord, make this lefty Trump-hater go to jail.

Has the “projectile” that caused the death and the injury been identified yet?

Last I heard the sheriff’s dept. had yet to make that determination.

iDoes NM have CCW license requirements?

Do you think that actors in Westerns need to have CCW licenses?

Union sabotage and violence? Nah, not possible.


Didn’t the Supreme Court say something to the effect that union violence in the furtherance of union objectives was not covered by anti-racketeering laws?

It was the 12th day of a 21-day shoot.

Counting down until the word "shoot" is banned forever from cinematography.

3...2...1
