A prop master with 30 years of experience in the film industry turned down work on “Rust” over serious concerns about the production.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, prop master Neal W. Zoromski said he had been in talks with film managers of “Rust” to fulfill the role on the project, but that ultimately he passed after getting a “bad feeling.”
“There were massive red flags,” the prop master, whose prop credits include “Day After Tomorrow,” and “Thank You for Smoking,” told the newspaper.
What concerned Zoromski the most was his request for five technicians in the department, a figure he revised to two due to the fim’s low budget.
