The filming of Rustthe western film by Alec Baldwin, is set to resume this week, according to a representative of the production company. Rust Move Productions attorney Melina Spadone said work on the film would resume 18 months following Baldwin accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set.
Mr. Baldwin will continue to participate in the project as an actor and co-producer. The Yellowstone Film Ranch in Montana will be used in place of the original New Mexico site. Earlier this year, it was announced that Bianca Cline would take over as director of photography.
« Production will continue to use unionized crew members and prohibit all use of working weapons and any form of ammunitionSpadone confirmed in a press statement. Live ammunition is – and always has been – prohibited on the board. »
The resumption of filming Rust was first announced last October, when Baldwin and the other producers reached an agreement with Matthew Hutchins, who had filed a lawsuit once morest the production on behalf of his late wife. As part of the deal, it was announced that Matthew would serve as executive producer on the film and that he would receive a portion of the proceeds.
Joel Souza, director of Rustwho was also injured during filming, said of the resumption of production: “ While it’s bittersweet, I’m grateful that a brilliant and dedicated new production team, along with former cast and crew members, are determined to finish what Halyna and I started. All of my efforts on this film will be dedicated to honoring Halyna’s legacy and making her proud. It is a privilege to carry out this project on his behalf. »
Last month, Rust Move Productions reached a settlement with the New Mexico Office of Occupational Health and Safety regarding violations “ graves and agreed to pay a $100,000 fine. The Bureau found that Rust Movie Productions had taken little or no action to deal with two on-set incidents prior to Hutchins’ fatal accident, and that crew members’ complaints regarding safety weapons remained unanswered.
In a statement to Rolling Stone, the production company said it planned to appeal the findings. ” We appreciate the time and effort OSHA put into its investigation, but we disagree with its findings and plan to appeal.the statement read. Our thoughts and prayers are with Halyna’s family. »
Separately, Santa Fe prosecutors decided to file manslaughter charges once morest Baldwin and weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed have pleaded not guilty. Evidence hearings are scheduled for early May to decide whether to go to trial.
Last month, assistant director Dave Halls pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of careless use of a deadly weapon. He will not receive a jail sentence and will have to serve six months probation without supervision.
