🔴Film Gaffer SUES Alec Baldwin Over Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting

Film gaffer Serge Svetnoy has sued actor Alec Baldwin and producers of the movie ‘Rust’ over a shooting that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead, accusing them of “general negligence,” according to a lawsuit.

The suit was filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court – naming more than 20 defendants, including David Halls, the assistant director who handed Baldwin the gun, and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who oversaw weapons on the set.

Svetnoy has accused the movie’s producers of trying to save money by failing to hire a “competent and experienced” armorer - but a lawyer for the 24-year-old Gutierrez-Reed, has claimed that someone put a live round in a box of dummy bullets on the film’s set as an act of “sabotage.”

Svetnoy’s lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
