Hannah Gutierrez-Reed found herself one of the most shocking film production tragedies in history. After serving as the armorer on Alec Baldwin‘s western movie Rust, Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison for the involuntary manslaughter of late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Learn more about the former film armorer below.
Gutierrez-Reed is related to famed armorer Thell Reed, who has worked on several productions, including Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, Miami Vice and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. In 1995, Thell spoke with Entertainment Weekly about how he instructed the cast of The Quick and the Dead with shooting techniques.
”I teach smoothness and style, and the speed comes by itself,” he told the publication. “It’s the ultimate dream movie.”
According to The Wrap, key grip Stu Brumbaugh claimed that people on the set of The Old Way complained about Gutierrez-Reed’s inexperience when it came to gun safety. Per the former crew member, film star Nicolas Cage screamed at Gutierrez-Reed for firing a gun near the cast and crew members more than once.
“Make an announcement, you just blew my f**king eardrums out!” Cage allegedly yelled, per the key grip. “I told the AD, ‘She needs to be let go,’” Brumbaugh explained, adding, “After the second round, I was pissed off. We were moving too fast. She’s a rookie.”
During an appearance on the “Voices of the West” podcast, Gutierrez-Reed opened up about working on The Old Way, calling it a “badass way to start off” her career as an armorer.
“It was a really badass way to start off a really long and cool career,” she explained. “It was also my first time being head armorer as well. I almost didn’t take the job because I wasn’t sure if I was ready. But doing it, like, it went really smoothly.”
