Nicolas Cage Allegedly Walked Off Previous Film Set Because of ‘Rust’ Armorer

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer working on the set of “Rust,” was the subject of gun safety complaints on the set of “The Old Way,” a western starring Nicolas Cage filmed this summer, according to Stu Brumbaugh, a key grip on the film. Cage was “visibly upset” when Gutierrez-Reed fired guns without warning on the set. “[Cage] just said, ‘Can we please make an announcement when we’re firing guns? You blew my eardrums out.’ He was visibly upset and walked off,” Brumbaugh told Inside Edition.
