Baldwin will complete the western Rust, during the filming of which he shot a camerawoman

The announcement of the film’s resumption of production comes shortly after prosecutors charged Baldwin with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of 42-year-old cameraman Halina Hutchins, in which the same projectile also struck director Joel Souza. BBC.

The tragic event happened at a ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, when Baldwin was rehearsing a scene involving the use of a gun. However, a live bullet also got into the blanks.

Filming was due to resume in January of this year when Baldwin reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by widower Matthew Hutchins for involuntary manslaughter.

However, Santa Fe prosecutors filed new involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin and the film’s gunsmith, Hannah Gutierrez Reed. Lawyers for both have denied any wrongdoing and intend to fight the allegations in court.

Luke Nikas, Baldwin’s attorney, called the decision to charge the actor a “terrible miscarriage of justice.”
