Alec Baldwin and the ‘Rust’ case: The latest updates, and what could be coming next

Alec Baldwin made a return to the set of the Western film on Friday, almost two years after the tragic incident where a gun he was practicing with went off and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October of 2021.

The set was moved to Montana from its original location in New Mexico, where the incident occurred. Baldwin’s return to the set is a win for the 30 Rock actor, who has fought a major legal battle since the incident occurred.

After criminal charges against him were dropped, Baldwin took to Instagram to thank his wife Hilaria Baldwin for her constant support, as well as his lawyer, Luke Nikas. Baldwin was rehearsing with the gun that went off and killed Hutchins, but the actor maintained that he did not pull the trigger.
