Alec Baldwin Was Rehearsing Pointing Gun at Camera, Affidavit Says
New York Times ^ | Oct. 24, 2021 | Simon Romero and Julia Jacobs

Posted on 10/24/2021 9:13:42 PM PDT by conservative98

The director of “Rust” told investigators that he had been standing beside the film’s cinematographer as the actor Alec Baldwin sat in a wooden church pew, rehearsing a scene in which he draws a gun and points it at the camera lens, according to an affidavit released Sunday night. The director, Joel Souza, said he then heard what “sounded like a whip and then loud pop.”

Mr. Souza saw the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, grabbing her midsection and starting to stumble backward. Then he noticed he was bleeding from his shoulder. He and Ms. Hutchins had been shot by the lead actor in their film.

The new details emerged on Sunday night when the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office released an affidavit used to obtain a search warrant to seize everything from camera memory cards to bone fragments and firearm discharge residue from the production site outside Santa Fe where the shooting took place on Thursday.

According to the affidavit, Mr. Halls grabbed the revolver from a gray, two-tiered tray set up by Ms. Gutierrez-Reed. Mr. Halls handed the gun to Mr. Baldwin and shouted, “cold gun,” which on a film set typically refers to an unloaded firearm.

While setting up the scene, the crew had to reposition the camera because there was a shadow. Mr. Russell told the detective that Mr. Baldwin was explaining how he was going to draw the gun, pulling it out from the holster, when the firearm discharged.

Mr. Souza, the director, told the detective that because the crew had been setting up the scene when the gun discharged, the incident had not been filmed.

After the firearm was discharged, Mr. Russell told the detective he “remembered Joel having blood on his person, and Ms. Hutchins speaking and saying she couldn’t feel her legs.”

when the gun discharged

Well, the newspuppets from The Slimes, Simon Romero and Julia Jacobs, got it into the third person.

Maybe they can try for the fourth or fifth person...

Does this mean that all the SNL shows with Alec Baldwin will be sent to the vault, along with all the episodes of 30 Rock?

The Assistant Director Dave Halls is being thrown under the bus by everyone in the film industry. Apparently, he has a long string of safety neglect complaints.

Regardless, Alec Baldwin pointed a lethal weapon at Hutchins.

I'm not even sure that Alec Baldwin was actually IN New Mexico at the time.

Maybe an app did it.

Single action revolver. He either would have been practicing drawing the gun and cocking the hammer or (even worse) he was practicing drawing a gun that was already cocked.

Sounds like someone is in salvage mode. Salvage career, reputation and ‘innocence’. He didn’t mean it, therefore he’s not guilty of anything. ~s

Drag a few hundred-thousand dollar bills through the Hollywood trailer park and you'll hook a lot of whores.

The case of the ballistic shield that never appeared.

I wonder if they were pissed at the Union Crew and focking around.

We are in Jussie Smollett territory.
