Alec Baldwin and Producers Reportedly Reach Settlement With Halyna Hutchins’ Estate Over ‘Rust’ Death

A settlement has reportedly been reached between Rust producers and the estate of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed during production on the Alec Baldwin-starring film last year.

Per a report from Deadline, a settlement was reached this week in connection with a wrongful death case against Rust Movie Productions LLC and Baldwin. As part of the settlement, the report notes, Matthew Hutchins—Halyna’s husband—will serve as executive producer on the film once it resumes production early next year.

“I have no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame (to the producers or Mr. Baldwin). All of us believe Halyna’s death was a terrible accident,” Matthew said Wednesday in a statement shared with multiple outlets. “I am grateful that the producers and the entertainment community have come together to pay tribute to Halyna’s final work.”

The wrongful death case will now be dismissed. Complex has reached out to Baldwin’s lawyer for comment.
