FILE – Actor Alec Baldwin attends a news conference at United Nations headquarters, on Sept. 21, 2015. A Santa Fe district attorney is prepared to announce whether to press charges in the fatal 2021 film-set shooting of a cinematographer by actor Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of the Western movie “Rust.” Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said a decision will be announced Thursday morning, Jan. 19, 2022, in a statement and on social media platforms.
In his lawsuit, Hutchins’ husband, Matthew Hutchins, accused Baldwin, Rust Movie Productions and other producers of reckless conduct and cost-cutting measures that endangered the crew, including failing to follow basic industry standard safety checks and gun safety rules. Hutchins, Baldwin and the other producers subsequently reached a legal settlement, though the exact amount of the settlement remains confidential.
The news about the reality TV show is sure to help keep Baldwin in the center of the “media maelstrom” that has engulfed his public persona since Hutchins’ death. Baldwin’s many critics would say that the outspoken actor has brought much of the unwanted attention on himself, with his ill-advised attempts to control the narrative and to clear his name, as the New York Times said.
The interview proved to be “a costly miscalculation,” prompting New Mexico District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies to see Baldwin as being “unrepentant, entitled and maybe even dishonest,” the Times reported. She won a grand jury indictment in January, charging Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter. If Baldwins’ attorneys fail in their latest effort to have the charges dismissed, the actor will go on trial, starting July 8.
