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.
