NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Alec Baldwin is suing the crew involved in handling and supplying the prop gun which misfired killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust last year.
The actor, 64, has filed a cross-complaint in Los Angeles’s superior court alleging negligence against armourer Hannah Guttierez-Reed, prop master Sarah Zachry, first assistant director and safety coordinator David Halls and ammunition supplier Seth Kenney and his company, PDQ Arm & Prop, all of which have previously denied responsibility for the fatal shooting.
The above are some of the people sued by script supervisor, Mamie Mitchell and Baldwin’s suit seeks among other things a share of any damages that Mitchell may win from Guttierez-Reed, Zachry, Halls and Kenney, as well as paying any damages assessed against him.
Baldwin has filed the suit to ‘clear his name’ in the incident, after claiming he has lost out on work due to his association with the fatal accident.
