The husband of the cinematographer who was killed during the filming of the movie “Rust” filed a wrongful death lawsuit against actor Alec Baldwin and several others, according to a family attorney. Brian Panish, a lawyer for Matthew Hutchins and their son Andros, said Baldwin and “Rust” producers “committed major breaches of industry protocols” that “led to the senseless and tragic death of Halyna Hutchins” last October. “There are many people culpable, but Mr. Baldwin was the person holding the weapon… that but for him shooting, she would not have died,” Panish said at a press conference in Los Angeles Tuesday. The 63-year-old actor “has significant portion liability, but there are others, and that’s what this case is going to be about—assessing fair apportionment to whoever’s responsible for the senseless tragedy,” Paris continued, in reference to the lawsuit that was filed in New Mexico.
