Eric Baldwin, an actor of "Trump" known to domestic audiences in SNL, yesterday when filming the new independent film "Rust" in New Mexico, the prop gun accidentally misfired, resulting in the death of 42-year-old female director Officina Hutchins, and director Joel Susa Joel Souza was hit in the shoulder and dying!
According to the information released by the local police, the male protagonist of the film, Alec, is the person who fired the prop gun. A statement from the police department briefly described what happened: "On October 21, 2021, representatives of the Santa Fe County Sheriff were sent to rust's Bonanza Creek Ranch film investigation in the west, when a 911 police officer told about the shooting on the set. ”
"Two people were shot on the set of RUST. Director Halyna Hutchins, 42, and director Joel Souza, 48, were accidentally hit by a prop gun misfired by producer and actor Alec Baldwin, 63. ”
Female director Hutchins was taken by helicopter to the University Hospital of New Mexico, and died of ineffective rescue.
Director Suzza was transported by ambulance to the medical center on Christus Street for further treatment. At present, the crew has stopped filming, no one has been charged, and the police are still investigating the case. Baldwin was interviewed by investigators and released.
A spokesman for the Rust producers also issued a statement expressing condolences to Hutchins' family.
The entire cast and crew were completely devastated by today's tragedy, and we extend our deepest condolences to Harena's family and loved ones. ”
"We have suspended the production and filming of this film and cooperated with the Santa Fe Police Department's investigation."
Is The tragedy of Lee Kwok-ho reproduced? When the young Li Guohao was filming the movie, he was also hit to death by a "prop gun". It is said that some of the crew members should have ghosts, what age, the movie props will still have this kind of problem, obviously deliberate! Moreover, why did the prop gun hit the director of photography and the director... Or did you hurt two people in a row?
RUST is a Western film written and directed by Joel, with Alec co-producer and star. The Cast is also very strong, Travis Fimmel, Brady Noon, Frances Fisher and Jensen Ackles have also joined the film, I don't know what they will think at this moment.
"Rust," which is currently suspended, is positioned by IMDb as a Western about a 13-year-old boy and grandfather in Kansas in the 1880s who escape bounty killers. Eric Baldwin plays Grandpa, who robs the prison and rescues his grandson, who has been convicted of accidental murder. Isn't that ironic?
