Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins Does Alec Baldwin think he will work again after he killed the cinematographer of his new film project? It’s been months, but Baldwin has been criminally charged for the mishap on the set of his postponed film project Rust. The location was reportedly beset by various issues, not the least being that the film crew had quit on the day of the shooting, citing long hours and workplace conditions. The date was October 21, 2021. In the interim, Baldwin was said to be practicing a stunt using a prop gun he thought was safe; an assistant director also told the lead actor it was a ‘cold gun.’ It wasn’t, and Baldwin never checked before firing, striking cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Hutchins died from her injuries, leading to involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin in January 2023. Baldwin has refused to accept responsibility, despite being the one who pulled the trigger. Baldwin says someone is to blame, but it’s not him. As a film producer, he’s reportedly also responsible for the safety standards on set. It’s not hard; always treat a gun like it’s loaded and always check if the prop gun is unloaded and safe, no matter what. Hutchins’ family also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin, which he has rejected, pleading with a judge to toss the legal action, citing the victim’s family as being “misguided” (via Fox News):
What a horrible human being. The investigation is quite clear who is to blame for the shooting accident: Alec Baldwin. And unlike The Shadow, he can’t escape into the night on this one. |
