Alec Baldwin Works With Horses & Gears Up As Sheriff In New 'Rust' Set Pictures
Alec Baldwin returns to the set of Rust for another day of filming at Yellowstone Film Ranch in Montana.
The 65-year-old actor was spotted wearing Western gear walking up and down the side of a hill alongside the crew of the film, as well as his assistant, as they set up shots for the movie.
At one point, Alec was seen getting up on a horse for one scene.
In a new report from The New York Times, real guns will not be allowed on the production following the tragic shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last year, which occured on the set when it was based in New Mexico.
“I’ve said it, and I’m going to say it every single time: There are no weapons on set,” first assistant director Gerard DiNardi told the crew on the set. “There is nothing that fires. There are a lot of facsimiles of weapons, from rubber to replicas.”
The outlet adds that the fake rounds being used are made of rubber and wood, and are painted gold to mimic real ones.
Armorer for the movie, Andrew Wert, also shared that he does bring a gun on set, but also announces to the crew that it’s a replica and will not fire. He reportedly reengineered the guns so that they cannot fire and keeps them locked in a password-protected case in between scenes.
If you missed the news, the charges against Alec in relation to Halyna‘s death, have been dropped.
