Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit in California against several individuals associated with the "Rust" film, CNN reported.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by the actor last October during a rehearsal for a scene for the movie, which was being filmed near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The lawsuit, filed Friday, is the first legal action in which Baldwin alleges wrongdoing against someone in relation to the shooting.
Baldwin, who is listed as a defendant in a 2021 lawsuit by a "Rust" script supervisor, filed the cross-complaint against the production's armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, assistant director David Halls, armorer assistant Seth Kenney, the prop weapon and ammunition supply store company Kenney owns, and prop master Sarah Zachry.
"More than anyone else on that set, Baldwin has been wrongfully viewed as the perpetrator of this tragedy. By these Cross-Claims, Baldwin seeks to clear his name and hold Cross-Defendants accountable for their misconduct," the cross-complaint says, according to CNN.

Killer seeks absolution?
Not bloody likely.
Just indemnification and a whitewash.
There is video of him murdering a woman and wounding another person. This guy has no shame and hollywood still employs him.
“...This guy has no shame, so hollywood still employs him.”
Fixed it.
“Still” employs him? That snuff film has gone viral, and is netting us millions under the table!/maybe
This is all very typical in a civil lawsuit. Any competent attorney working for the defense will look for any opportunity to bring other defendants into the case — especially if they have deep pockets and/or lots of insurance coverage.
He must be telling the truth
.he said, honest to God.
Clearly, Go Brandon is part of his legal team.
The person ultimately responsible is the person who picks up a firearm, fails to see if it’s loaded, then fires it at someone. Who is that?
20 years on television, countless gun fights, three sidekicks (Chester, Festus, Newly, respectively), and nobody shot by accident on the set. Likewise nobody shot on radio in ten (?) years by gunshot sound effects.
Does he believe in Him?
Donald Trump, of course./s
Just so long as it ends his career!!!
Alec, we advise you wait a year as to not appear in sensitive before filing the countsuit.
It will help show concern for the victim and their family and also establish you are not going to sit back and let those responsible victimized you anymore.
Jury’s love that sht.
...and afterall your Alec fkn Baldwin, winner of seven Screen Actors Guild awards , three Emmys, and three Golden Globe Awards.
Tell it to his insurance company. They pay the lawyers. They want to recoup the settlement money they paid to the family of the woman he killed. None of it was Alec Baldwin’s money. This is not his decision to make.
The suit is legit.
The ammo got on set and into a gun, then into the actors hand all bypassing every safety check the industry has in place.
It’s quite remarkable.
You could argue all involved in the countersuit are assessories to manslaughter and should be prosecuted as such.
Sure. And the insurance company would be irresponsible to their shareholders and premium payers not to bring it. OK. And Alec Baldwin is still a shmuck’s shmuck.
