In an interview with Today, Matt Hutchins, the husband of the director of photography who was accidentally killed by Alec Baldwin on the set of the film Rust last October, said he was “angry” following the latter’s comments on the case. .
On October 21, on the set of the film Rust, Halyna Hutchins, a 42-year-old cinematographer, was accidentally killed by a bullet from a weapon handled by Alec Baldwin. A tragic accident which raises questions about the security measures taken on the set, and about the responsibility of the film crews, and in particular the producers, including Alec Baldwin. On December 1, the actor finally explained himself on this drama, specifying in particular that he had “not pulled the trigger“. According to him, it was by touching the hammer of the weapon that the shot would have gone off, killing Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Matt Hutchins, the victim’s husband, spoke in an interview with Today appeared on Thursday February 24 about this story.”The idea that the person holding the weapon and causing the discharge is not responsible seems absurd to me.“, he said before adding: “But gun safety wasn’t the only issue on this set. A number of industry standards have not been met and many are responsible“The reason why the man decided, on February 15, to file a complaint against Alec Baldwin as well as”other people involved in the accident”.
“It almost looks like he was the victim”: Alec Baldwin blamed by the husband of the deceased
Regarding the defense of the actor, Matt Hutchins does not seem, again, not convinced. “Listening to it, I was so angry“, did he declare. “I was so angry to see him talk about Halyna’s death so publicly and in such detail, and then accept no responsibility after describing the killing of her…It almost sounds like he was the victim. And hearing him blame Halyna in the interview and blaming others and seeing him cry about it… I’m like, ‘Are we really supposed to feel sorry for you, Mr. Baldwin?’“
