Rust Movie Productions, Thomasville Pictures and Ryan Smith and Langley Cheney claimed they didn’t know Baldwin would actually shoot the gun that killed Hutchins and will not have to face the central claims in a lawsuit from script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The "Rust" movie producers previously declared they were not responsible for supervising the production and their role was to finance the film. The producers made that argument in court and while contesting a fine from the New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau.
