"Rust actor and producer Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will each be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the film’s Santa Fe County set in 2021," a representative confirmed on the office's Facebook page.

Despite the revealed involuntary manslaughter charges, Alec and the rest of Rust's cast will reportedly begin filming once again at some point this month after the It's Complicated star settled a wrongful-death lawsuit with Hutchins' widower, Matthew, in October 2022.

I am grateful that the producers and the entertainment community have come together to pay tribute to Halyna's final work," Hutchins' husband and father of their 10-year-old son, Andros, expressed in a statement at the time.
