‘There’s nothing we can do to get his mother back’: Alec Baldwin on Rust filming
While Alec Baldwin faces charges of involuntary manslaughter following the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Rust set, SAG-AFTRA and fellow actor Mickey Rourke have defended him.
The actor is one of three cast and crew members charged over the accidental shooting, New Mexico prosecutors announced Thursday.
The First Deputy Director RustDavid Halls, has agreed to plead guilty to negligent use of a deadly weapon.
Meanwhile, the film’s gunsmith, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, has also been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Despite the recent developments, production continued as usual Rust remains, said a person with knowledge of the project The New York Times.
Baldwin will still star in the film, and Joel Souza, who was injured in the shooting, will return as director.
Thursday’s decision comes more than 15 months after the fatal shooting in October 2021, when a gun in Baldwin’s hand was fired on set. A single bullet struck Souza in the shoulder before fatally striking Hutchins in the chest.
Baldwin has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, claiming he was told the gun was “cold”.
What is Baldwin’s net worth?
At the moment, Baldwin’s net worth is estimated to be around $70 million (£57 million). This amount is an aggregate amount of his entire career earnings.
The 64-year-old actor has appeared in numerous films and TV shows over a span of five decades. During that time, he has also published two books and currently hosts the podcast This is what it’s aboutwhich he started in 2011.
