The family of Hutchins is suing Alec Baldwin and the movie producers of "Rust" for wrongful death, the attorneys said Tuesday.
A spokesman for the “Rust” producers had no immediate comment. The filing was first reported by The New York Times.accused of negligence by the Hutchins family Sharing screenshots of his correspondence with Matthew Hutchins, Baldwin said that the cinematographer’s husband had wanted to confront the crisis together and that he was grateful for the actor’s offers of help and wanted to maintain a relationship with him. Baldwin added he arranged hotel accommodation for the family and spoke at the memorial.
The claim contradicts an assertion in the wrongful death lawsuit filed last month by the Hutchins family, who placed much of the blame on Baldwin. Their claim stated the actor refused training in the “cross-draw” maneuver that he was practicing that day — just 4 feet from Hutchins and other crew members.
Hutchins directed Baldwin to hold the gun so it was pointed toward her and said that she wanted him to cock the gun, according to the actor’s filing. Baldwin said he pulled back the hammer of the gun but not enough to cock the gun, and when he let go, the gun went off.
