The parties reached an undisclosed settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit filed in February against the actor and other defendants.
In April, the state of New Mexico fined the Rust producers for safety lapses and authorities called Hutchins’s death “avoidable”.
Alec Baldwin has agreed to a settlement with the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins who was killed on the set of the western Rust she was filming in New Mexico in 2021 when she was shot with a prop gun the US actor was using.
The original lawsuit, filed by Hutchins’s family, claimed Rust film producers “failed to perform industry standard safety checks and follow basic gun safety rules while using real guns to produce the movie Rust, with fatal consequences”.
