Halyna Hutchins’ family talks to Alec Baldwin

The 2021 Rust Movie Sued for Industry Standard Violation and a Case involving Halyna’s Son, Alec Baldwin

Baldwin, who is listed as a defendant in a 2021 lawsuit by a “Rust” script supervisor, filed the cross-complaint against the production’s armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, assistant director David Halls, armorer assistant Seth Kenney, the prop weapon and ammunition supply store company Kenney owns, and prop master Sarah Zachry.

The lawsuit, filed in February in Santa Fe, against Baldwin, the film’s production companies, its producers and other key members of the crew, alleged numerous industry standard violations.

“Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son. Alec Baldwin’s attorney said in a statement they are thankful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of the situation.

It was only right for Souza to return to finish the movie, if it were done with the help of Matt and the Hutchins family.

Melina Spadone, the attorney of Rust Movie Production, said she was pleased the parties came together to come to a resolution which will mark an important step forward in honoring Halyna’s work.

The lawsuit also claimed the production companies and producers “cut corners” and “chose to hire the cheapest crew available,” specifically noting that they “knowingly hired a wholly unqualified armorer,” and required her to split time in a second role as assistant props master.

The attorney for Hannah Gutierrez Reed said they hoped the settlement would be recognized as a measure of justice.

Hannah was happy that the parties were able to amicably resolve the civil lawsuit and that this settlement would benefit the Hutchins family. We are hopeful the district attorneys office will realize that justice has been done in relation to this tragic accident and that they won’t pursue criminal charges.

The ongoing criminal investigation of the case won’t be impacted by the settlement agreement, according to a spokesman for the Santa Fe District Attorney.

Heather Brewer, a spokeswoman for the First Judicial District Attorney of New Mexico said that civil suits are settled private and financial awards are often involved in criminal cases. Criminal charges will be brought when the facts and evidence warrant them. No one is above the law.

Rust’s Shooting with Halyna Hutchins: A High-Energy Production Without Her Family’s Help

Under the settlement, which is subject to court approval, the filming of Rust will continue with the “original principal players on board” and Hutchins’ husband Matthew will serve as executive producer.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by the actor last October during a rehearsal for a scene for the movie, which was being filmed near Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Baldwin, who said he was following Hutchins’ instructions as they were working on a scene for the Western, has maintained that he didn’t pull the trigger.

“I cock the gun. I go, ‘Can you see that? Can you see what’s happening? Can you see that?'” Baldwin said in a December interview with ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos. “And then I let go of the hammer of the gun, and the gun goes off.”

Baldwin wants to clear his name by filing a lawsuit against those involved in handling and supplying the gun. Baldwin, also a co-producer on “Rust,” said he was told the gun was safe.

The director of Rust praised Hutchins and said he was happy to be able to finish the film without her family’s help.

A Motion by Alec Baldwin and a Manslaughter Specialist in the Shooting of a Cinematographer on a New Mexico Movie Set

CNN obtained a cross-complaint that states that actor Alec Baldwin filed a lawsuit in California against people associated with the film.

“More than anyone else on that set, Baldwin has been wrongfully viewed as the perpetrator of this tragedy. Baldwin is the one who wants to clear his name and hold Cross-Defendants accountable for their misdeeds.

The gun was loaded into it’s case and live bullets were delivered to the set, yet they didn’t check the gun carefully or tell Baldwin that the gun was safe.

Baldwin is seeking “compensatory, nominal, statutory, and punitive damages” through a jury trial, litigation-related expenses, and other relief to be determined by the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the cross-complaint says.

SANTA FE, N.M. — Actor Alec Baldwin and a weapons specialist have been formally charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a New Mexico movie set, according to court documents filed by prosecutors Tuesday.

The charges were filed by the Santa Fe District Attorney, who named Baldwin and Hannah, who supervised weapons on the set.

Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas declined comment Tuesday and referred to his previous statement on the case, in which he called the charges a “terrible miscarriage of justice” that he and his client would fight and win.

“Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set,” the statement said. He relied on the people who worked for him.

There are alternatives standards and sanctions included in the manslaughter charge against Baldwin. One would apply a charge of manslaughter for reckless disregard of safety “without due caution and circumspection.”

Carmack-Altwies told The Associated Press in a Jan. 19 interview that the set was “really being run pretty fast and loose” and that Baldwin should have known there had been previous misfires on the set and that multiple people had brought up safety concerns.

They will be issued summons to appear in court. Prosecutors will forgo a grand jury and rely on a judge to determine if there is sufficient evidence to move toward trial. It could take up to 60 days for decision.

It is voluntary manslaughter if a person is killed while they are doing something that is dangerous and negligent. Special prosecutor Andrea Reeb has cited a pattern of “criminal disregard for safety” on the set of “Rust.”

Prosecutors also said they will release the terms of a signed plea agreement with assistant director David Halls, who oversaw safety on the set. Participants in the un-filmed rehearsal have given conflicting accounts of who handed the gun to Baldwin.

The evidence and the facts speak for themselves according to Heather Brewer, a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office.

The charges are the result of a flawed investigation and an incorrect understanding of the full facts, said the defense lawyer, who represents Gutierrez-Reed.

The decision to charge Baldwin marks a stunning turn of events for an A-list actor whose 40-year career included the early blockbuster “The Hunt for Red October” and a starring role in the sitcom “30 Rock,” as well as iconic appearances in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed” and a film adaptation of David Mamet’s “Glengary Glen Ross.” Baldwin’s impression of President Donald Trump on ” SNL” was very well-known.

SANTA FE, N.M. — Ukrainian relatives of a slain cinematographer are seeking damages in her death from actor Alec Baldwin in connection with a fatal shooting on the set of a Western movie, under a civil lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles.

The new lawsuit against Baldwin was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of Halyna Hutchins’ parents and younger sister, who works as a nurse on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv and is married to a Ukrainian man fighting in the war against Russia.

There is a new lawsuit where it alleges that Hutchins was responsible for the depravation of benefits given to Svetlana Zemko and her parents. The lawsuit also names as defendants a long list of “Rust” crew members, an ammunition supplier, producers of the film and affiliated businesses.

New Mexico District Court Trial Against a Nurse’s Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter: The Case Against Baldwin

Separately, Baldwin and weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed are confronting felony criminal charges of involuntary manslaughter in New Mexico District Court, with a remote first appearance scheduled later this month in which pleas may be entered. An assistant director has agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced charge.

Los Angeles-based attorney Gloria Allred described Zemko as a working emergency operating-room nurse who is raising an infant and 4-year-old child while her husband fights in the war.

Zemko felt that anyone who was responsible for her loss should be held accountable, according to Allred.

The new lawsuit against Baldwin, though filed in California, relies on provisions of New Mexico state law regarding the depravation of benefits, also known as “loss of consortium.”
