.GStephanopoulos presses Alec Baldwin on fatal 'Rust' accident: 'Why did you choose, in your 40 years [in the industry], not to check the gun yourself?' BaldwinABC
The first interview since the fatal accident on the set of the movie ‘Rust’. The emotional ABC News Special with George Stephanopoulos breaks tonight at 8/7c on ABC and later that evening on Hulu.Sitting in a church pew on the set of “Rust,” a low-budget Western film, the star actor observed the hustle-and-bustle around him with a renewed sense of appreciation. A project he loved was finally coming to life – the magic of the cinema felt within reach.
“I don't know what happened on that set. I don't know how that bullet arrived in that gun. I don't know,” Baldwin said. “But I'm all for doing anything that will take us to a place where this is less likely to happen again.” “I loved working with this woman,” he said. “She was a joy. Everyone loved her as a person. And everyone admired her talent.”On the day of the shooting, Baldwin said he and Hutchins met to discuss an upcoming scene. In it, Baldwin was playing a cornered and badly wounded character who would draw his weapon on two foes.
“This was a marking rehearsal,” Baldwin said. “And [Hutchins] says to me, ‘Hold the gun lower. Go to your right. Okay, right there. All right, do that. Now show it a little bit lower.’ And she's getting me to position the gun.” “I cock the gun. I go, ‘Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that?’” Baldwin said. “And then I let go of the hammer of the gun, and the gun goes off. I let go of the hammer of the gun, the gun goes off.”“No, no, no, no, no,” Baldwin said. “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them.”
Baldwin said accidental discharges of blanks or dummy rounds on film and television sets are common. In fact, crew members have since said that there had already been at least one accidental discharge on the “Rust” set just days before the fatal incident. Hutchins had been shot in the chest with a live bullet. Souza, a longtime friend and collaborator of Baldwin’s, had been standing behind Hutchins when the discharge occurred and was hit with the same bullet.
Baldwin was wary of those complaints, framing the 12- or 13-hour workdays as common practice on film sets. Another target of public scrutiny – and the two civil lawsuits – is Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the film’s 24-year-old armorer and prop master. As armorer, Gutierrez Reed, the daughter of famed Hollywood armorer Thell Reed, was responsible for maintaining, handling, loading and unloading any weapons on set. When Baldwin arrived on set, he said Gutierrez Reed gave him a 90-minute demonstration on gun safety.
Baldwin said it is hard for him to imagine that being the case, and said he believes it was “overwhelmingly likely that it was an accident.” “When that person who was charged with that job handed me the weapon, I trusted them” he continued. “And I never had a problem, ever.” “My protocol was to trust the person that had the job,” he continued. “And it worked up until this point.”“That's a tough question,” Baldwin said. “Because the actor's responsibility going this day forward is very different than it was the day before that … I did the same thing that day that I did all the other days we were shooting.”that criminal charges regarding the incident were"on the table.
