And she ended up fully falling over and injuring herself. “He was like, ‘No, she’s not going to fall all the way.’ So we had like a furniture pad instead. “I remember turning to Dave, and I was like, ‘Dave, should we get her a crash pad? We should get her a crash pad,’” assistant camera operator Quinton Rodriguez said. When she filmed the scene, she fell awkwardly and was injured.



More information is coming out about the past behavior of “Rust” assistant director Dave Halls, who two years ago was fired from the film “Freedom’s Path” after failing to follow gun safety protocols.Īccording to crew members who worked with Halls and spoke to Rolling Stone, Halls declined to provide 74-year-old actress Carol Sutton with a crash pad for a scene that involved her character falling to her knees upon discovering the death of another character.
