Quentin Tarantino Claims Alec Baldwin WAS Partly Responsible for ‘Rust’ Shooting
Quentin Tarantino claims Alec Baldwin is at least partly responsible for the fatal on-set shooting of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was fatally wounded during the production of Rust in 2021.
Speaking to Bill Maher on Maher’s “Club Random Podcast” Sunday, Tarantino weighed in on the incident the month after a judge dismissed involuntary manslaughter charges against Baldwin. Maher asked the director if he’s “wrong” to believe the case had been “bulls—t” if prosecutors didn’t believe Baldwin intentionally shot Hutchins.
“The armorer is 90 percent responsible for everything that happens when it comes to that gun,” Tarantino said. “But, but, but, but, but, but the actor is 10 percent responsible.”
