Involuntary manslaughter charges will be filed Tuesday in New Mexico against actor/producer Alec Baldwin and the armorer on the film 'Rust' stemming from the on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
and the armorer on the film "Rust" stemming from the on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
Baldwin fired the fatal shot from a prop gun while helping Hutchins, 42, and director Joel Souza set camera angles for a scene. The actor, who was also a producer on the film, has insisted he was told the gun was "cold," or contained no live rounds. He has also insisted that while he pulled back the hammer on the weapon, he never pulled the trigger."Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun -- or anywhere on the movie set," Nikas said.
They also noted that film producers "failed to call Hannah in to perform her armorer duties and inspect the firearm right before its use in the impromptu scene with Baldwin. As we have stated before, had anyone from production called Hannah back into the church before the scene to consult with her, this tragedy would have been prevented."
"If any one of these three people -- Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gutierrez- Reed or David Halls -- had done their job, Halyna Hutchins would be alive today. It's that simple," said Andrea Reeb, the special prosecutor appointed by the DA to the case. "The evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the `Rust' film set. In New Mexico, there is no room for film sets that don't take our state's commitment to gun safety and public safety seriously.
