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.
GStephanopoulos hulu They never do…
GStephanopoulos hulu I hope Alec sues
GStephanopoulos hulu Yea. That’s how that gun works. You shot it.
GStephanopoulos hulu Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin does!
GStephanopoulos hulu It might be true🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
GStephanopoulos hulu Guilty as sin—-even with the lie that he didn’t pull the trigger! Karma came back to bite you Baldwin! You’re nasty and vile to everyone, glad to see it came back to haunt you. 🤣
GStephanopoulos hulu
GStephanopoulos hulu Why is Jan 6th not year headline news every day? Of children dying in schools because of corrupt politicians who get millions from the NRA each? Why?
GStephanopoulos He aimed a real gun at a employee for the production company. Pulled the trigger and killed one or two? Can’t remember. Yes he is responsible for not checking a loaded gun.
GStephanopoulos You are partly responsible
GStephanopoulos To those ignorant people saying he’s responsible… are you responsible if your caterer poisoned the food that kill or got your guests sick at your event? Oh let me guess… you were supposed to double check if the food is safe before serving it, right?
GStephanopoulos While I do feel sorry for him! Why in heavens name he won't just stay quiet! A woman is dead forever gone from her family and friends.
GStephanopoulos It is you!
GStephanopoulos He’s pathetic
GStephanopoulos Why were there live rounds on a movie set in the first place? Let’s start there
GStephanopoulos You pulled the trigger man...ignorance is not an excuse.
GStephanopoulos Isn't that what kamala Harris said about the BidenBorderCrisis
GStephanopoulos Has Alec Baldwin been arrested yet? AlecForPrison
GStephanopoulos It's good that he's able to move on, but I must say it is surprising how quickly he was able to do so. If I were in his shoes, I would probably hang onto that guilt for many years before finally coming to the conclusion that I was not at fault.
GStephanopoulos Want to know how bad your interview was? Alec stated he did not figure out Halyna was shot for 45 minutes. However, he implies Serge came up to him 'after the event' and told him it was not his fault. Serge held Halyna and had blood on him. How did he tell Alec this 25 minutes
GStephanopoulos HE GAVE HIMSELF A GREEN LIGHT!!! UNBELIEVABLE!
GStephanopoulos This is so bizarre.
GStephanopoulos Wow, way to step up…
GStephanopoulos I’m surprised he didn’t say it was Donald trump that pulled the trigger….. prob won’t be long now till that reveal comes out
GStephanopoulos He is a murderer! Don't try to normalize his murderous behavior!
GStephanopoulos I believe that he really really wants fbi got the person who put the real bullets in the gun that made troubles for this film production company and Baldwin.
GStephanopoulos Someone trying to make their point about lax safety measures, and it went terribly wrong !
