-New Mexico on Wednesday fined Rust Movie Productions LLC the maximum amount possible, and blasted the production company for"willful" safety failures leading to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last year during the filming of Western"Rust."

"This tragic incident never would have happened if Rust Movie Productions, LLC had followed national film industry standards for firearm safety," Environment Cabinet Secretary James Kenney said in the news release. "While we appreciate OSHA's time and effort in its investigation, we disagree with its findings and plan to appeal," Rust Movie Productions spokesman Stefan Friedman said in a statement on Wednesday.The six-month probe found that Rust management, including Line Producer Gabrielle Pickle and Unit Production Manager Row Walters, ignored concerns raised by crew members about three firearm and pyrotechnics misfires on set.

Halls did not consult with Property Master Sarah Zachary or Armorer Hannah Gutierrez on whether it was necessary for Baldwin to point the firearm at Hutchins and Souza, according to the report.
