"All of us believe Halyna's death was a terrible accident. I am grateful that the producers and the entertainment community have come together to pay tribute to Halyna's final work," he explained.
In October 2021, a tragedy occurred on the set of the western Rust, the cinematographer died from a shot fired by Baldwin. The gun had previously been accidentally loaded with live ammunition. The actor and film producers were subsequently sued by several people, including Halyna's widower Matthew Hutchins.
Now Baldwin and the Hutchins family have reached a settlement outside of court. Accordingly, both parties agreed that Hutchins' death was accidental. Details of a compensation payment to the widower and his son are not known. Through his involvement in the film project, however, Hutchins is expected to receive a share of the proceeds.
