Alec Baldwin lost control of his emotions on set, put others in danger and also changed his story in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of a movie in New Mexico in 2021, according to new court documents filed by prosecutors. Prosecutors accused Baldwin of “frequently screaming and cursing at himself, at crew members” and of losing control. “To watch Mr. Baldwin’s conduct on the set of ‘Rust’ is to witness a man who has absolutely no control of his emotions and absolutely no concern for how his conduct effects [sic] those around...

Alec Baldwin will remain as the star of the movie “Rust” as it restarts production, the movie’s lawyer has confirmed. The 64-year-old actor will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of Halyna Hutchins, despite previously insisting he did not pull the trigger. Hutchins’ widower Matt, who shared his 10-year-old son Andros with the late cinematographer, will stay on as the film’s executive producer — a role he took on as part of the wrongful death lawsuit that was settled for an undisclosed amount in October. “Rust” will also see its director Joel Souza return, despite being injured...

A weapons safety expert and industry armorer pushed back on the notion from Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s lawyers that “sabotage” may have been to blame for how live ammunition found its way into the gun that killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” last month. The sabotage claim, as floated by the lawyers for “Rust” armorer Gutierrez-Reed on “Today” Wednesday, is speculation and has not been substantiated with any evidence by the lawyers or authorities. And Steve Wolf, who has 30 years of experience as a movie armorer, told “TheWrap-Up Podcast,” that “speculation” is a “kind word” for how to describe...

Like shock-u-mentary maker Michael Moore, Robert F. Kennedy can’t stay away from Canada. Canada’s political socialist atmosphere warmed subzero temperatures for Kennedy’s annual Waterkeeper Alliance Fundraiser, held recently on Banff ski slopes. Sunshine Village rolled out the red carpet for ski bunnies of the Fairmont Banff Springs Celebrity Invitational. Spectators jumped up and down in —20C weather to keep their feet warm, some waiting all afternoon for a no-show Meg Ryan. Ski bunnies have more than running mascara to worry about in cold Canadian winters with no environmental statistics available on either the fireside melting point or ski slope freezing...

While watching TNT's "Framed" Sunday night I saw a promo for a new Alec Baldwin tv movie that would also be on TNT very soon. Name of the movie is "Second Nature" and from the promo it looked as if it was a third rate ripoff of Robert Ludlum's "The Bourne Identity". Baldwin looks pretty Beefy in the role. It will be direct to video as soon as it is shown. We can hope this is the only kind of work poor Alec will get from now on. I would say his career is going downhill rapidly. How long will...
