And the show will go on. There’s a new report that says the movie Rust will be finished one way or another. The producer of the film says he is “confident” he will be able to finish the film following the conclusion of the police investigation into the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins.
As many fans know by now, Halyna Hutchins died after Alec Baldwin allegedly shot and killed the cinematographer on accident while on the set of the film. A video created by the attorneys showed an animated recreation of the shooting. The attorneys said in the video that Baldwin had turned down training for the kind of gun draw he was doing when he shot Hutchins.
Rust Producer Says The Film Will Be Finished
Anjul Nigam told The Hollywood Reporter he hoped the investigation into the “horrific tragedy” would be resolved quickly. It comes after Rust Movie Productions (RMP) contested the citation by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) that said it “willfully” violated safety protocols on the set of the western.
“Rust is obviously a horrific tragedy,” Nigam told THR. “The investigation will hopefully be resolved soon and will unveil what happened. Obviously, there will be people out there who will have negative perspectives, but we’re confident about continuing to make quality movies.” He added: “We’re confident we’ll be able to complete the movie.”
Back in February, and nearly three months after the shooting, Baldwin turned over his mobile phone to authorities in his home state of New York. They gathered information from the phone and provided it to Santa Fe County investigators, who had obtained a warrant for it.
In his first interview with Good Morning America, when asked if he felt guilty over Halyna’s death, he said, “No. No. I feel that… someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me. Honest to God, if I felt that I was responsible, I might’ve killed myself if I thought that I was responsible. And I don’t say that lightly.”
