Alec Baldwin Filming Continues Despite Shooting Incident

______________________________

Despite the fact that the actor Alec Baldwin is unlikely to escape punishment under a criminal article for the manslaughter of cameraman Galina Hutchins, the filming of the western Rust continues in the United States. This is reported by the media with reference to the statement of the lawyer of the film company Rust Movie Productions, Melina Spadown.

Filming with Mr. Baldwin in the title role and Joel Souza as director is about to wrap up,” she said.

According to Spadown, the filming process will now involve safety inspectors and union members. It will also be prohibited to use any weapons and ammunition on the site.

The New Mexico State Attorney’s Office decided to file a criminal charge against Baldwin. For the crime, he faces up to 18 months in prison or a fine of up to $5,000. The same punishment awaits Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who responded to the weapons used on the set of the film “Rust”.

Recall that the accident occurred on October 21, 2021. Alec Baldwin fired his prop gun during filming. The weapon was supposed to be loaded with blanks, but it contained one live bullet. As a result, cameraman Galina Hutchins died and the director of the film was injured. Despite this, in some interviews, Baldwin stated that he did not pull the trigger of the revolver. In October 2022, it became known that the actor managed to negotiate with the family of the victim. And in November, he himself sued the crew of Rust.
