Avast ye, me hearties! A newfangled moving picture doth reveal Alec Baldwin firin' a prop cannon on the set o' "Rust." Them fancy lawyers be ponderin' whether to give him another taste o' the plank fer the unfortunate demise o' Halyna Hutchins. Arrr!
New footage has been released showing actor Alec Baldwin on the set of "Rust" firing a prop gun. Prosecutors are now considering re-charging Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. In the video, Baldwin can be heard instructing crew members to move out of the gun's path. He expresses concern for their safety and asks them to stand elsewhere. At one point, a woman can be heard asking everyone to move away from the gun. Baldwin's legal team has yet to respond to the release of the footage.Special prosecutors have announced that they will ask a grand jury to determine if Baldwin should face criminal charges in connection with Hutchins' death. They believe that new facts have come to light showing Baldwin's criminal culpability. Baldwin's original involuntary manslaughter charges were dropped in April, but he could still face new charges in the future.
Despite the ongoing legal drama, the filming of "Rust" was completed in May. Baldwin expressed relief and referred to it as a long and difficult road. He congratulated the cast and crew on reaching the end of the trail and called it a miracle. It remains to be seen how the new footage and the grand jury's decision will impact Baldwin's legal situation.
