LOS ANGELES — The Directors Guild of America has told its members to stop work on a new horror movie backed by “Rust” producers Thomasville Pictures.
In a recent note to members, the union said it pulled its backing of the project, citing safety concerns. The decision effectively bars directors, assistant directors and unit production managers from working on the Georgia production.
“Representatives of the DGA informed the producers of specific safety requirements that needed to be satisfied for the film to be covered under a DGA agreement. The producers failed to meet those conditions,” the guild said in a statement.
