Quentin Tarantino explained Alec Baldwin was responsible « to some degree » for his gun on the set of « Rust. »
A judge dismissed Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter charge in July mid-trial after finding the prosecution withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense. « Rust » cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died Oct. 21, 2021, after a gun Baldwin was holding fired on set. Tarantino shared his beliefs regarding guns on movie sets during an appearance on « Club Random » with Bill Maher.
« You’re the perfect one to ask. Who has been on more sets than you? » Maher asked Tarantino.
« It’s a situation, I think I’m being fair enough to say, that the armorer — the guy who handles the gun — is 90% responsible for everything that happens when it comes to that gun, but. the actor’s 10% responsible », Tarantino said.
