“Rust” has officially restarted production in Montana, a year and a half after the film’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, was killed when a prop gun held by star Alec Baldwin discharged.
According to The New York Times‘ Julia Jacobs, who visited the movie’s set on Yellowstone Film Ranch, the production isn’t taking any chances this time around, as real guns are not allowed on the premises.
“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, according to the Times. “There is nothing that fires. There are a lot of facsimiles of weapons, from rubber to replicas.”
In the aftermath of the October 2021 shooting — which also injured director Joel Souza, who has returned to the film — both Baldwin and former armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed were charged with involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin...

Over the weekend, specifically on Saturday night, two big precursors went down. The Directors Guild of America Awards and the Annie Awards were held, help to solidify two Oscar categories. Yes, as you’ll see, there’s now no mystery left about what the Academy Awards will cite in the Best Director and Best Animated Feature races. Frankly, there hasn’t been for some time now, but the last pieces of the puzzle were put together on Saturday. Those two categories are coronations now, and rightly so, quality wise. With DGA being the final Guild, that also really does launch us firmly into Phase Two, where members of the Academy will be making their final decisions about who and what will receive Oscar gold. Below you’ll be able to see Annie and DGA results, which probably shouldn’t have surprised anyone. The former went for Coco across the board,...

How he and director Jordan Peele crafted the look of the allegorical horror hit.
Cinematographer Toby Oliver’s involvement with Jordan Peele’s Get Out was a match made in Blumhouse Productions. Oliver, who had previously worked with Blumhouse Productions on The Darkness, was sent a copy of the script which Peele had spent several years developing, and was immediately impressed. “It was a well worked-through script,” Oliver told me over the phone last week, as we discussed the production of Get Out and the role of a Director of Photography in general. “He put a lot of time into it, he knew what he wanted to say, so that was really appealing.”
Oliver’s name was put forward as a possibility by Blumhouse Productions, and a meeting was arranged.
“We hit it off in our first conversation, and I had a few ideas about how to visually approach the film and those seemed to agree with...
