Although the DOC contains behind -the -scenes images of the entire Western film and interviews with the cast and the team, the actor of “30 rock” approached the documentary, although he did not make a direct appearance.

On October 21, 2021, Alec Baldwin repeated a scene for a western film inside a new-mexic church. He took out his weapon and, although he claims that he did not rely on the relaxation, the pistol fired. This pistol, which in a way contained a real ball instead of a missed tower, turned through Halyna Hutchins and integrated into the director’s shoulder Joel Souza.

The director of director of photography died on an Albuquerque hospital. Souza has been hospitalized and would continue to recover completely. He would even finish filming “Rust” in Montana the following year. And although the documentary understands images of this set, as well as an interview with a new director of photography Bianca ClineBaldwin does not discuss more about the question than he has already done.

It is quite clear why Baldwin chose not to participate in the documentary. It was quite clear that everything he said can and will be held against him. Go recorded to admit the fault of the death of Hutchins would not have helped him when he was facing accusations of manslaughter.

The state of the New Mexico has filed charges against him and gunsmith Hannah GUTIERREZ-REED In January 2023, more than a year after the death of Hutchins. The charges against Baldwin were abandoned in April 2023 while the FBI did tests on the pistol used in the fatal shooting. Accusations were refined in January 2024, just a few months before a jury judged Hannah Gutierrez, guilty of manslaughter. In April 2024, a judge sentenced him to the state of 18 months behind bars.

Baldwin faced the same sentence if she was found guilty, but lucky for him, the trial never went so far. On the second day of witness testimony, a crime scene technician testified that there were evidence – bullets, in particular – which were never given to the defense. The judge judged that the only appropriate recourse of this Brady violation was to reject the accusations of prejudice, which means that Baldwin can never face criminal accusations for his role in the death of Hutchins.

However, this does not mean that it is still out of the woods. He is always appointed in several civil proceedings because of his credit to the producer, in particular that brought by the mother, father and sister of Hutchins. Although he is not confronted with time behind bars, the burden of proof in a civil affair is much lower, and any good lawyer would advise his client to say nothing to incriminate.

Although the actor of “Beetlejuice” does not have much to say about Halyna Hutchins, he has a lot to say about himself in the aftermath of the shooting. His wife, Hilaria BaldwinIn particular, seems eager to paint Baldwin as a victim of circumstances in their TV show TLC “The Baldwins”.

“I hoped that there could be a little more Halyna or was a little more on Halyna,” said Souza before speaking to the director. “I know it was your initial intention when you told me about. And I could say when we speak over the years in the time that followed you that you were under pressure. »»

Mason, who met Hutchins when their sons went to nursery school together, admitted that there had been a “change” in the film. “A film has these developments; It starts with the thing you imagine you can do, then you start to work there, and you can’t really do this thing, “she said. “You change.”

However, in Q&R, she seemed desperate to put the accent on her friend. When asked by a public member how difficult it would be to make the film, she replied: “Maybe if someone here knew Halyna and would have something to say. It would be just great to hear a story on Halyna. »»

Although we do not make much concentration on the life of Hutchins Halutins in the documentary, it is a good thing that Baldwin was not present, because his star power would have overshadowed his heritage already in discoloration.
