Alec Baldwin Reportedly Pushed For ‘Rust’ To Resume Filming!

According to reports, a new update from the “Rust” shooting reportedly claims Alec Baldwin didn’t want filming to come to an end despite the tragic killing of Halyna Hutchins…

CelebnMusic247.com reports that a new arbitration filed by Baldwin himself, this controversial information was allegedly released to the media.

Via Variety:

The arbitration documents were filed by Baldwin against lead producer Ryan Smith and Rust Move Productions LLC to invoke the indemnification clause of his producer contract. Baldwin hopes the indemnification will make Smith and the production company to assume liability for all his legal claims and cover his defense costs.

While the arbitration demand was the highlight of the court documents filed, the filing fully detailed Baldwin’s involvement in the filming, especially as regards the tragic shooting of cinematographer Hutchins.

As you might know, Baldwin was the one holding the gun when the accidental discharge that contained a live bullet struck Hutchins and director Joel Souza. Unfortunately, Hutchins died and Souza sustained injuries.

According to reports, while the production of “Rust” came to an abrupt halt following the devastating incident, the filing shows that Baldwin pushed for filming to continue.

Hutchins died on October 21, 2021. However, according to the court documents, Baldwin began pushing for production resumption barely two weeks after her death.

The “SNL” alum reportedly began discussions with other producers by November 3, asking for a possible settlement to allow the full resume production.

“Baldwin was able to convince each of the primary actors needed to complete the film and the film’s director Souza — who had been injured in that day’s events — that finishing ‘Rust’ was an important step in honoring Halyna Hutchins’s memory and talent, defining her legacy, and, in turn, providing financial support to her family,” an excerpt of the document reads.
