Alec Baldwin's Upcoming Film About Vietnam War Protest Shootings Will Have No Guns On Set

Alec Baldwin is set to star in Kent State, a film about the 1970 Vietnam war protest shooting.

The 65-year-old actor’s new film will reportedly not have any real guns on set.

Earlier this year, he was formally charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter involving the tragic shooting and death of Halyna Hutchins but the charges were later dropped.

After charges were dropped against Alec, he quickly went back to work on the set of Rust, which later wrapped up shooting. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who worked on the movie as an armorer, is still facing charges.

Kent State will focus on the campus protest against the Vietnam War in 1970 where four students were shot and killed by the Ohio National Guard. Alec will play Kent State president Robert I. White, according to THR. National Guard soldiers fired 67 rounds killing four students and wounding nine others at the protest. Robert White served as Kent State President from 1963 until his retirement in 1971.

Alec recently took to social media to share a tribute to his children, but forgot to include one of his children.
