Alec Baldwin's Rust Hits Theaters

After two people were shot on the set of Rust, many predicted that the Alec Baldwin produced movie would simply remain unfinished.

Director of photography Halyna Hutchins died, and director Joel Souza was wounded. Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of three prop guns set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled, “cold gun.”

"Cold gun" is industry slang meaning the gun does not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin, who used it to rehearse a scene. According to the search warrant, Baldwin aimed the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza.

Reports suggest crew members used the weapon for target practice earlier that morning.

A judge dismissed charges against Baldwin. The actor sued and launched a reality show. Now he's back on 100 big screens across the country.
