BREAKING - The family of the cinematographer killed when a gun went off on the set of the movie “Rust” last year has reached a settlement with actor Alec Baldwin.
that Souza is expected to return to the film. In a statement, he remembered Halyna Hutchins as “exceedingly talented, kind, creative, and a source of incredible positive energy.”
“In my own attempts to heal, any decision to return to finish directing the film could only make sense for me if it was done with the involvement of Matt and the Hutchins family,” he said. “Though certainly bittersweet, I am pleased that together, we will now complete what Halyna and I started. My every effort on this film will be devoted to honoring Halyna’s legacy and making her proud.”
The Hutchins family filed suit against the movie’s producers earlier this year, alleging that those responsible for safety on the set exhibited “reckless behavior” and implemented “cost-cutting” measures that “led to the senseless and tragic death of Halyna Hutchins,” Brian Panish, an attorney representing the Hutchins family, said in February.
“Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son,” Alec Baldwin’s attorney, Luke Nikas, said Wednesday in a statement. “We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation.”
