The actor and director Alec Baldwin has said the assistant director and the props manager for his movie Rust were responsible for the on-set death of the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during filming last year in New Mexico.
“Someone put a live bullet in the gun who should have known better,” Baldwin told CNN, referring to Rust’s armorer and props manager, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
“I’m not sitting there saying I want them to, you know, go to prison, or I want their lives to be hell.
In April, the state of New Mexico issued its maximum citation, $140,000, against Rust’s production company for safety lapses leading to Hutchins’ death.
