Charges against Alec Baldwin have been dropped in the fatal on-set "Rust" shooting, according to sources familiar with the matter. Baldwin, 65, had been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, on the New Mexico set of the Western in October 2021.

Alec Baldwin responded to the lawsuits seeking to hold him accountable for last year’s fatal shooting on the set of the indie western Rust, claiming he is being targeted because he is wealthy. The Boss Baby and Saturday Night Live star made the comments during a public event at the Boulder International Film Festival in Colorado on Saturday. “What you have is a certain group of people, litigants and whatever, on whatever side, who their attitude is, ‘well the people who likely seem negligent have no money and the people who have money are not negligent,’ ” Baldwin said, according...

Actor Alec Baldwin told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that he cocked the gun that fatally shot the cinematographer for his unfinished film Rust — but insisted that he did not pull the trigger. Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded in the October 21, 2021, shooting incident. The first part of Stephanopoulos’ interview with Baldwin aired Thursday, and a new preview clip aired Friday morning on Good Morning America. USA Today quoted Baldwin recounting the fatal moment. Baldwin said, “I’m holding the gun where she [Hutchins] told me to hold it.” He added, “In the scene [being...

Alec Baldwin did not do himself any favors on Tuesday when he shared an angry post from a crewmember from the set of the film “Rust,” where he fatally shot and killed a cinematographer in an incident that is still being investigated by police — and scrutinized by the public. In seven Instagram posts, the actor shared a lengthy tirade from Terese Magpale Davis, who worked in the film’s wardrobe department. (Apparently the 63-year-old Baldwin doesn’t know how to select multiple images for one post, which Instagram users can easily do.) “Read this,” he captioned the first post, which included...

Sometimes, you just need Texas. As the rest of the entertainment industry was being brought to its knees by the threat of more hacking and terrorism, a theater in Texas decided to both capitalize on this story and stand up for freedom of speech. The only bummer is they’re holding a free screening, as I’d hoped they’d rake in a bunch of cash for filling a gap in the market, which would be as appropriately American as the statement they’re making about our values. They should be rewarded, and they will be, at least with brand recognition and good will:...

Alec Baldwin Sees Link Between Global Warming and War in Iraq Posted by Noel Sheppard on January 9, 2007 - 23:22. Actor Alec Baldwin -- since he woke up one morning believing that he understood politics and had an opinion that American’s would be interested in hearing -- has said and written a lot of absurd things. His recent rant at HuffnPuff has to rank high on his growing list of most inane. Please take a seat, and secure all fluids. You’ve been warned (emphasis mine throughout): All around us are signs of global climate change. And this administration's response is to send...
