"In general, live ammunition should never be on any film set, per industry standards. Gutierrez-Reed, an inexperienced armorer, loaded the revolver with a live round instead of dummy rounds."
"Rust is no longer an ordinary movie; it is a deeply depressing coda to an appalling and entirely preventable tragedy that occurred during its filming."
The film 'Rust' is overshadowed by the tragic incident during its production where a live bullet was fired from a gun handled by Alec Baldwin, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuries to director Joel Souza. The film now serves as a painful reminder of this catastrophe, especially with the conviction of armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was sentenced to 18 months for involuntary manslaughter. Despite the movie's release, critiques emphasize a need for better safety measures in the industry to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again.
