Recall that Alec Baldwin fired a gun during a rehearsal of the film "Rust" on the set in New Mexico on October 21, which led to the death of cameraman Galina Hutchins. The band rehearsed in a small church on the set.
The producers of Rust Movie Productions, Thomasville Pictures, Ryan Smith and Langley Cheney, have previously stated that they were not responsible for overseeing the production, that their role was to finance the film, that they did not know that Baldwin would fire the gun, and kill Hutchins. The producers made this argument in court and when they contested the fine from the New Mexico Bureau of Occupational Health and Safety.
The lawsuit was originally filed in November by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who is represented by prominent attorney Gloria Allred.
In her lawsuit, Mitchell alleges assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and intentional harm. The lawsuit was dismissed by a Los Angeles judge.

“While Plaintiff alleges that the objecting Defendants assisted Baldwin by supplying the loaded gun, Plaintiff's allegations cannot establish that the Defendants who objected knew that Baldwin would fire a loaded weapon at Plaintiff, so they would be jointly responsible for his willful conduct. ', wrote the judge.
“In fact, plaintiff's allegations prove the opposite: the only person who knew Baldwin was going to fire the weapon was Baldwin,” he added.
