The president of IATSE 212 insists safety on director Alejandro G. Inarritu’s set should not have been sacrificed for the perfect movie.
The head of a local union representing crew members that worked on Alejandro G. Inarritu’s The Revenant during a brutally cold Canadian winter said the New Regency movie went to “the outer edge of safety” to get the perfect shot. Damian Petti, president of IATSE local 212, told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, “In terms of our industry, it’s important that people differentiate between getting an amazing movie at all costs, and safety.”
