The western movie Rust starring Alec Baldwin and Jensen Ackles already was suffering from the most tragic reputation, following the accidental discharge of a live round in a prop gun that led to the death of the production’s cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The movie is no longer shooting, and now may never happen, and yet the terrible incidents aren’t over yet, as a crew member was reportedly bitten by a venomous spider that could result in amputation.
Jason Miller was a lamp operator and pipe rigger who was working to shutdown the set of Rust when, according to Sky News, he was bitten by a brown recluse spider. A fundraiser has now been set up to bring in money for medical procedures as Miller is now facing multiple surgeries to deal with the infection that’s been caused as doctor attempt to save his arm. If they cannot, amputation is a possibility.
Needless to say that following on the events that led Rust to being shutdown in the first place, this is terrible news to see. Certainly, this movie just can’t catch a break, as even in shutting it down some pretty terrible things are taking place.
More to come…
