Filming of “Rust”, the film of the fatal shot of Alec Baldwin, resumes

The producer of the film Rust Move Productionssaid in a statement signed by his attorney, Melina Spadone, that filming will take place at the Yellowstone Film Ranch instead of the original New Mexico location.

Baldwin continues in the project as a co-producer and as an actor, the producer specified, according to US media.

The New Mexico State Attorney’s Office filed two counts of involuntary manslaughter in January against Alec Baldwin for the death of Hutchins, which occurred on October 21, 2021 at a Santa Fe County church.

Baldwin was the one who activated the prop gun that killed the cinematographer. It contained live ammunition, although these types of bullets are prohibited on set.

The person in charge of the security protocol during the recording, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was also charged with involuntary manslaughter, while assistant director David Halls, in charge of delivering the weapon to Baldwin, accepted a misdemeanor charge in an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office. .

Last month, the film’s producer and the New Mexico authorities reached an agreement whereby the company paid a fine of $100,000 for security flaws in the filming found in the investigation of the facts.

Baldwin has always denied any responsibility for the tragedy and Gutiérrez-Reed has maintained that he verified that the cartridges with which he had loaded the revolver were blank cartridges.
