Alec Baldwin left New Mexico and has presumably returned to New York. He spoke at the private memorial service for Halyna Hutchins. Director Joel Souza, and the first AD Dave Halls attended; Hannah Gutierrez, the gun handler, wasn't there.
It's been reported that other armorers were offered the job and passed on it because they had doubts about the film's budget and the large number of guns involved. So they gave the job to a beginner.
It was a Tier 1 movie which means it was budgeted at less than $6 million but more than $1.5 million. Below that amount would be considered an "Ultra Low budget" film if I'm reading this chart right:

The movie's kaput, which isn't surprising. I doubt it's a great loss to cinema, but that's okay.
I don't know what I think about the westerns they make now. They're low-budget and often extremely violent which I guess is the name of the game with that genre. It seems like they must be labors of love, but they're so generic.
