Child actress Jayde Martinez has given her take on the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Child Actress Jayde Martinez From ‘Rust’ Speaks Out Following Halyna Hutchins’ Death
She was killed after Alec Baldwin had unknowingly fired a prop gun which turned out to be loaded. Given that the incident has led to a full-blown investigation with suggestions that there could be criminal charges, Jayde has sent her wishes to Halyna’s family.
In an official statement, a spokesperson for her said: “We would like to extend to the family of Halyna Hutchins, Director of Photography, our deepest condolences.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone associated with the ‘Rust’ production and to everyone in the entertainment industry.”
Jayde’s career has been marked by this incident, as it will live forever in her memory. This movie was seen as an attempt to make her mark in the acting world.
According to IMDB, she had been cast to play a ‘Kiowa Girl.’ As part of this role, she would be playing a member of a Native American tribe. But given this death on the set, there are doubts about whether the movie will go ahead.
After all, it is not clear whether the actors would want to do it out of respect to Halyna. In addition, if the police do find someone guilty, then the movie will most likely be over.
Despite the uncertainty over the movie’s future, fans have gotten angry over the fact that there were minors present on the set. In addition to Jayde, Brady Noon had been cast in the movie.
He was set to play a teenager who was looking after his younger brother following their parents’ death. And given that two minors could also have been killed, one fan blasted the whole set.
In a post on Twitter, the user remarked: “Brady Noon and Jayde Martinez are two minors in this movie. They are minors. If it was an unsafe set–and one which did not provide local lodging–why were the parents quiet about it?”
This story shows that there were many safety issues that were not dealt with. And the only way to stop this from happening again is to allow the authorities to find out the root cause.
