Embattled American actor/film producer Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against crew members on the set of ‘Rust’ movie, over the shooting which resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
According to the lawsuit which was filed against Chief Armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Assistant Director, Dave Halls, Prop Master, Sarah Zachry and the Gun Supplier, Seth Kenney, Alec Baldwin is alleging that they failed to safeguard the film set.
The lawsuit read, “This tragedy happened because live bullets were delivered to the set and loaded into the gun. Gutierrez-Reed failed to check the bullets or the gun carefully, Halls failed to check the gun carefully and yet announced the gun was safe before handing it to Baldwin, and Zachry failed to disclose that Gutierrez-Reed had been acting recklessly offset and was a safety risk to those around her.”
Alec Baldwin added that he seeks to clear his name and instead hold the crew members accountable for their misconduct.
According to the suit, he also pointed a guilty finger at Kenney, the film’s gun supplier, for haphazardly storing all the bullets.
This new lawsuit references an F.B.I report, where it was stated that prop specialist, Zachry and armourer, Gutierrez-Reed failed to monitor the live rounds on the New Mexico set of the movie, ‘Rust’.
