Alec Baldwin will be tried in July for his fatal shooting in the film Rust. The 65-year-old actor denies pulling the trigger and has always maintained that he was assured his weapon was harmless.
The filming of Rust turned into drama in October 2021 on a ranch in New Mexico, in the southwest of the United States. Alec Baldwin had pointed a weapon supposed to contain only blank bullets, but a very real projectile had killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.
