He even yelled at her and said, “Make an announcement. You just blew my f—-king eardrums.” Stu recalled and added,” Nicolas Cage even told him to let her go.”
He added further,” After the second round, I was pissed off. We were moving too fast. Hannah is a rookie.” Stu, after some time, realized it was the critical crew member’s first movie. According to the recent interview he said,” There were several times when Hannah put us in various dangerous and unnecessary situations.”
Brumbaugh also added, “There were several times that various crew members complained about Hannah. During filming The Old Way, she used to carry guns without warning. The guns were loaded with real bullets and carried rifles in each hand. She also fired guns several times before without warnings.”
Stu revealed and told the media, “She used rifle for the first time to check if horses will be shocked. She fired without warnings.”
Reactions of Hannah Gutierrez Reed
Hannah was the head armorer of the film The Old way, produced just before the movie “Rust.” Hannah interviewed on one of the podcasts. She said, “It was my first time as a head armorer. You know I was nervous at that time. I even rejected this job at first, but this job suited me. I was not sure about my job and the way it would work. But everything went really well.”
She even added, “The best part of my job was to show to the people who are normally freaked off by the guns.” She further added,” The guns are safe to take to the sets and live with that unless it goes to the wrong hand.”
What was the reaction of other members after revelations?
