I want them to get into the movie business and they can take care of me. I don’t want to work, I want my kids to go to work and support me. My wife and I had six kids in seven years. I’ve got six kids and the oldest is seven. I have six kids, I don’t want to work anymore. To not work - to retire, I want to retire. What looking for in future projects at this point? So everybody was very conscientious and I don’t think anybody got COVID when I was there so it seemed pretty good. People wore masks and they were very cautious because in the shooting world now nobody wants to be responsible for bringing the whole thing down, you don’t want to be the one that gives the crew some illness. I was vaccinated and most of the people there were vaccinated, and we’re out in the wide open spaces there in Montana.

Were there challenges to shooting during the pandemic? We’d say “action” and get out of this van and oh my god, they were blowing this stuff on us like you couldn’t believe it.

They have to find ways to simulate it and render it at a low cost, and they did that. They don’t have money for a lot of effects, this is not a Spielberg production. But that’s what I like is the ingenuity, the necessity of making everything very, very simple. They just sprayed all this shit on us all the time. We got very dirty, I haven’t been that dirty in quite a while. You’re standing there and they’re blowing fans on you and they’re taking gigantic handfuls of hay and throwing it into the fan and they’re hosing you down and spraying the hose into the fan, so it looks like just this giant storm and the wind is blowing all this farm terrain and dirt on you. We did little stuff, it’s like simulation. This seems like an action-heavy film, are you doing big stunts or action sequences?

I looked at the footage of him, I watched the TV shows about him and I read about him. It came and picked him up, they found his son and he crushed in a car like half a mile away from the site, the car rolled for like half a mile. The storms were closing it on him and he lost the opportunity timing-wise to drive around the storm, he couldn’t get out of it. Samaras died in what apparently was some horrible anomaly where two funnels are combining to make a supercell and then you don’t see the other funnel out of corner of your eye. Tim Samaras, he was the person who I really really tried to build my understanding, I kind of used his career as the prism through which I could understand the whole thing. I would look at these documentaries about all these famous storm chasers. What kind of research or prep did you do before shooting? It turned out to be a very gratifying experience. I really grew very fond of the group, the cast, Daniel and Skeet. Everybody was down to business, we really had to get the shooting done quickly and everybody worked very hard. It was a great group of people, it was a great crew. Their enthusiasm was infectious, especially Jamie. It was a very, very concentrated effort they made to get everything and I hadn’t done that in a while - I haven’t been running across a field trying to chase the sun for a shot in quite a while, it might be 20 years or so. You could tell nobody’s making a lot of money here, they’re all running around chasing the sun and they’re swinging cameras over their shoulders. Once I got there was a group of people who they were really on to something, a young director Jamie Winterstern, his brother Ryan’s a producer. They said come shoot adjacent to Billings, Montana for just a week, they compressed all my scenes into a week. I really love Skeet Ulrich, and just as they were putting the pieces together I said, why not? They sent me the script and then gradually it just kind of seeped into my brain. He contacted me and I read it and I thought well, there’s a certain genre of film, in this case a Twister-style film, you always ask yourself is an audience ready for another round of that? Every so often people dust off a format and bring it back again, which has been very successfully depicted before, like Twister obviously.

Why was this a film you wanted to be a part of?Īnjul Nigam, one of the producers on the film, is a friend of mine who I produced another film with, a film I was supposed to be in but the schedule didn’t work out, Crown Vic. One 'Rust' Producer Dodges Some Claims in Suit From Script SupervisorĪfter having recently wrapped shooting, Baldwin spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about researching the storm chasing business, creating a tornado on a budget and choosing projects with a family-first mindset: “Whatever work I can find that allows me to stay home, that’s what I’m likely going to do.”
