Alec Baldwin to be charged with involuntary manslaughter in ‘Rust’ movie set shooting

[Tanko]

He should have just kept his mouth shut afterward. He went on different shows claiming he didn’t pull the trigger, etc

Yep. Didn't help himself at all.

Brandon Lee was shot on a movie set, deemed accidental

Yeah which makes no sense because that one was actually considered suspicious for many reasons, yet this one seems like a complete accident

Thank you for a great reference, Steve.

Why wasn't anyone criminally charged in Brandon Lee's death? ​

"North Carolina law requires criminal negligence to be “willful and wanton” and Spivey said at the time he could find no evidence of that during the investigation.

“Who are you going to charge? The guy who made the blanks? The guy who allowed live ammo to be on set? Who do you charge?” Spivey told USA TODAY. “There was a lot of negligence on the part of a lot of people, and that’s why we decided there was no basis for a criminal charge.”

Lee was shot over 30 years ago and the thoughts of handgun safety have changed dramatically over that time. It's hard to believe anybody would have live rounds anywhere near a movie set though.
I was watching one of the cop shows on TV recently and the handguns the actors were using were so obliviously props they didn't look anything like a real weapon.

definitely couldve kept his mouth shut but hes probably panicking

 

[geogeody]

my question why was a live bullet in the gun to begin with on the set

The “gang” was apparently target practicing with live ammo somewhere on the property with the vintage gun. That somehow caused a live round to either still be in the revolver or mixed in with the blank rounds. I heard that story very early on, but have not heard or read that again recently.

Hopefully he goes to jail 5 years he is a worthless scumbag anyway

Different time. Our country has changed.

i still don't get why they would target practice with a gun being used as a prop....could've been easily avoided if they didn't do that

I would think his career is finished

Working on a low budget movie set must be tough. Dude bit by spider almost has amputation.

Shooting incident[edit]​

This paragraph is an excerpt from Rust shooting incident.[edit]
On October 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Bonanza City, New Mexico, United States, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and director Joel Souza was injured on the set of the film Rust when a live round was discharged from a revolver used as a prop by actor Alec Baldwin. Hutchins died later that day at an Albuquerque hospital. The weapon had not been thoroughly checked for safety in advance.

Spider bite incident[edit]​

In November 2021, weeks after the shooting incident, lamp operator and pipe rigger Jason Miller was bitten in the arm by a brown recluse spider while closing the set. Miller suffered necrosis and sepsis. He was hospitalized and underwent multiple surgeries to avoid amputation of his arm.[20][21][22] It was reported by TMZ that Miller would not need an amputation.[23][better source needed]

OMG, I didn't know there was also a spider bite incident. I guess this is a sign that they need to cancel this movie.

 

[stevieray]

I hope they finish the shoot,



no pun intended LOL.

LOL, are you going to watch it in Cinema if the time comes, Stevie?

With all these problems they're facing in production, this movie must be better good.

Baldwin and a low budget flop doesn't rate a big screen for me. Gotta think the bad publicity will boost the movie's final intake though, if they ever release it.
I'd pay $5.99 to watch it on cable just to see the Colt .44 single action revolver.

Maybe Baldwin can get out on work release to finish it.

haha.. I got also curious and look for this video. Jump immediately to 1:00.

that's fast. He's shooting a .38.
Baldwin's prop was a .45 not a .44, my mistake. Lots of difference in the recoil.

Accidental discharge testing determined that the firearm used in the shooting -- a .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver -- could not have fired without the trigger being pulled, the FBI report shows.

With the hammer in the quarter- and half-cock positions, the gun "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger," the report stated.

With the hammer fully cocked, the gun "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional," the report stated.

Yeah....
Making a note. If I run into this guy, don't piss him off.
