In addition, American Film Institute Dean Susan Ruskin will also deliver comments about Halyna and already has established a scholarship in her name for a female cinematographer.
Halyna Hutchins, 42, died after she was shot by Baldwin and later died from her injuries at a nearby hospital. Sources said that Alec was “hysterical and absolutely inconsolable for hours” after he killed Haylna.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Alec Baldwin just got slapped with a lawsuit by “Rust” gaffer Serge Svetnoy for negligence. The chief electrician on the set of the film claims the bullet that struck both Hutchins and Souza nearly hit him too, additionally alleging that he was the one who tried to comfort the cinematographer and keep her conscious after she was hit.
In his lawsuit, Svetnoy says that he included Baldwin in his suit because the actor and producer “owed a duty to the Plaintiff and other crew members and actors on the Rust set to handle the Colt Revolver provided to him by defendant Halls with reasonable care and diligence for the safety of Rust cast and crew.”
“This duty called for Defendant Baldwin to double-check the Colt Revolver with Halls upon being handled to ensure that it did not contain live ammunition,” the docs read. “This duty further called for him [Baldwin] to handle the Colt Revolver as if it was loaded and to refrain from pointing it at anyone.”
