According to foreign media reports, on November 10, Alec Baldwin, the uncle of Hollywood actor and Justin Bieber's beloved wife Hayley Baldwin, was sued by a staff member of the crew for "manslaughtering" the photographer on the set of "Rusty" late last month.
Sergi Svetnoy, the lead lighting engineer for the low-budget film, said in the lawsuit that the "accidental killing" was caused by the negligent actions of actor and producer Baldwin and others. Svetnoy felt bullets fly past him, and his face was hit by gunpowder and "residue." The lawsuit, filed with a Los Angeles court, said, "There is no reason to fit a live bullet in that 45 Colt revolver, or to have a real bullet anywhere on the set of Rusty, and the bullets in the revolver involved pose a lethal threat to everyone near it." ”
As the film's weapon prop maker, Hannah Gutierrez Reed was also mentioned in this negligence lawsuit. On the 10th, she issued a statement, and her lawyer once again insisted that she herself did not know why there was a live fire on the set.
Reid's lawyer said, "We demand a thorough investigation of all the facts, including the live ammunition itself, how it appeared in the 'fake props' box, and who put it there." We are convinced that this was deliberate sabotage and that Gutierrez Reed was framed. We believe that the crime scene was also tampered with before the arrival of the police. The lawsuit also alleges that actor Baldwin, assistant director Dave Halls and weapons prop maker Reed did not follow the film industry's convention when it came to handling weapons, "allowing a revolver loaded with live ammunition to be aimed at a living person."
At the end of October, a serious accident occurred on the new Mexico set of the movie "Rusty", and the lead actor Alec Baldwin used a prop gun to shoot during the filming on the set, accidentally killing cinematographer Harina Hutchins and injuring director Joel Susaza. After the accident, 42-year-old photographer Hutchins was taken by helicopter to the University Hospital of New Mexico in Albuquerque, but after the rescue, he was still unable to return to heaven and unfortunately died, which made the accident continue to ferment.
And this accident left Baldwin with psychological trauma. Alec Baldwin's wife, Hilarya, once confessed that she was worried that his post-traumatic stress disorder was too severe to know how long it would take to come out of the shadows. Hilalia said she was also out of balance when she first heard about the tragedy, driving with children, not knowing where to go, just wanting to escape all attention and calm her heart as soon as possible, and finally they stopped in Manchester, a ski resort town in Vermont, where Alec later went to meet his family.
This "manslaughter incident" has caused a lot of waves in Hollywood, and last week 200 Hollywood film and television photographers signed a statement calling for a ban on the use of real guns on the set, and many movie stars such as "Boulder" Dawn Johnson have also responded.
