Alec Baldwin – Still Wants To Continue Filming Rust Despite Manslaughter Charges

According to new reports, Alec still wants to get back to work despite the fact that there’s so much controversy surrounding the film and Hutchins’ death.

Melina Spadone, lawyer for Rust Movie Productions, has said that the film is “still on track to be completed with Mr Baldwin in the lead role and Joel Souza returning as director.”

Earlier reports say that Halyna’s husband Matthew Hutchins would be serving as executive producer of Rust. He said in a statement, “We have reached a settlement, subject to court approval, for our wrongful death case against the producers of Rust, including Alec Baldwin and Rust Movie Productions, LLC. As part of that settlement, our case will be dismissed. The filming of Rust, which I will now executive produce, will resume with all the original principal players on board in January 2023. I have no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame (to the producers or Mr Baldwin).”

Hutchins was shot and killed by Baldwin on the set of the movie, even though the actor maintains that he never pulled the trigger. One of the counts is for involuntary manslaughter, in which prosecutors will have to prove there is underlying negligence. The other charge is involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act. Baldwin could face up to five years in prison.
