[Alec Baldwin: Rust film producers fined over fatal shooting on set]


[Halyna Hutchins was killed and
director Joel Souza
injured in October as Baldwin
rehearsed with what he believed
to be a safe gun.
The actor, who was also a producer on
the film, has previously said he did not
pull the trigger and has no idea how
a live bullet came to be on the
set near Santa Fe.
The company said it disagreed with
the findings and would appeal.]

After 10 months the FBI have worked something out.

I could have told them that during the commercial break. A Liverpool fan could have worked that out.

Clearly you not that clever.
He said he never pulled the trigger so you have to test the gun to see if it was faulty or worn to the extent it could go off by itself.

I've never claimed to be clever, I just have my own mind.

Look through this page on this thread. I more or less said that Baldwin shot the innocent lady.

You have to fully investigate the possibilities not just say he pulled the trigger because he was holding the gun.

I'm not being totally serious. I'm using sarcasm to ridicule the situation.

I shouldn't need to explain that.

[Police in Sante Fe will NOT rule out
criminal charges after
damning FBI report concludes that
Alec Baldwin DID pull the trigger on set of
Rust and killed
cinematographer - despite claiming he did NOT

A new FBI report has concluded that the gun
would only have shot a bullet if the trigger
had been pulled
Testing revealed that Baldwin's claims that
he had been playing with the hammer were
not enough to get the gun to fire
Baldwin has consistently denied that
he pulled the trigger on the gun,
which was supposed to be loaded dummy bullets
The actor, 64, says he's cooperating
with police and said he is hoping there
will not be criminal charges
Hayla Hutchins' death is still under
investigation by the
Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office
She died after being shot in the
armpit by a live round
that somehow made its way into
Alec Baldwin's gun on October 21, 2021]

director Joel Souza, also injured Souza
in the same incident with the .45 Colt]

Never liked Baldwin ever since he took a political stance. He criticizes others yet his own life is a sham.

I've always thought there was something very fishy about this shooting. I hope justice is served.

Alec Baldwin has reached a settlement with the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, after she was killed on a film set when he fired a prop gun.

Filming of Rust will continue in January, with Ms Hutchins' widower Matthew on board as the movie's executive producer.

All parties believe Ms Hutchins' death was an accident, her husband said.

A lawsuit filed against Mr Baldwin, producers and others, had alleged violations of industry standards.

The exact terms of the settlement, which is subject to court approval, have not been disclosed.

In a statement, Mr Hutchins said that "all the original principal players" would be involved when filming resumes, which he said would be a way to "pay tribute" to his late wife's final work.

"I have no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame," he added.

"All of us believe Halyna's death was a terrible accident.

Tbf it is Hollywood.

That was my first thought too but maybe he is doing it in his wife’s memory, it’s a strange one for sure

But he wants to Honour her work
being Executive Producer means he gets profits,
if any.


I am sure his good lady who was shot dead
would want her project completed

That's a bit harsh isn't it?

It appears to have been an accident from his perspective.

not really, he was the films producer and ultimately responsible for those employed on the set and their safety. The fact he also fired the weapon is just an added complication

But it doesn't seem like he deliberately set out to harm her, or anyone else on set.

When ever a live round gets in to a prop, i would say there must be a deliberate action involved. People are saying things like .... he didn't deliberately do it, because of the actors name and nothing else

That's why he's been charged with involuntary manslaughter and not murder.

Some Staff had left the set
just before the death.

well whose responsibility are the guns for, the armourer


any person even those with the lowest IQ's can understand that duh


the gun props are locked in storage and the armourer has to guard those and hand them to the actors, producers when being taken to set



soooo lock that person up, for life hopefully, for murder

I would say that in a case like this, the person whose actual role is to be responsible for the operation and safety of the firearms is genuinely "more" to blame and I also think it's right that Baldwin's part in the blame is being part of the production (and thus ultimately responsible for everyone's safety) rather than being the actor who fired the gun. If he was JUST an actor in it I would have said it's harsh for him to be charged at all.

I think in the end though, with CGI being as good as it is these days, there's a very good argument to be made for simply not allowing live ammunition to be on film sets at all. Blanks only.

The Brandon Lee case is actually slightly different - a bullet from a previous take was lodged in the barrel and it WAS a blank that was loaded for the scene when he was shot... but a live round is basically a blank (case & powder) + a bullet... so the blank fired the lodged bullet that was stuck. It's still a handling error, and it still would have been avoided if they hadn't been using live rounds at all, in any take.
