Melisa Spadone, the attorney, shared that Alec will still star in the lead role of the film amid the charges.
She added that the set will cover and include “on-set safety supervisors and union crew members and will bar any use of working weapons or any ammunition.”
The Santa Fe County DA, Mary Carmack-Altwies, revealed earlier this past week that both Alec, and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed would both be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
“After a thorough review of the evidence and the laws of the state of New Mexico, I have determined that there is sufficient evidence to file criminal charges against Alec Baldwin and other members of the ‘Rust’ film crew,” she shared said in a statement. “On my watch, no one is above the law, and everyone deserves justice.”
Following the news, SAG-AFTRA released a statement on the charges against Alec.
It was first reported that production on the movie would still go on in October of 2022.
