While filming a new movie called "Rust," Alec Baldwin, who acted in and produced the film, fired a prop gun loaded with a blank cartridge and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, and injured director Joel Souza, 48. Production was halted and and Alec's spokesperson issued a statement saying that it was "an accident." Baldwin was heavily criticized for his lack of trigger discipline, and even more importantly, his failure to take full responsibility for the tragedy that cost a wife and mother her life. In March 2022, he claimed at the Boulder International Film Festival that people were simply coming after him for his money, referring to himself as a "deep pockets litigant." Hutchins' husband, Matthew Hutchins, said in a previous interview, "Almost sounds like he was the victim. And hearing him blame Halyna in the interview and shift responsibility to others and seeing him cry about it, I just feel like, ‘Are we really supposed to feel bad about you, Mr. Baldwin?'”
