Alec Baldwin files arbitration claim against ‘Rust’ producers
Alec Baldwin has filed an arbitration claim against the producers of the movie “Rust” in a bid to shield himself from liability and cover his legal fees after the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the western last year. In the arbitration demand filed Friday, Baldwin alleges he was not responsible for the death of Hutchins, whom he shot during rehearsals on a movie ranch outside Santa Fe, N.M. Seeking indemnification from the “Rust” production company, Baldwin reiterated earlier public statements that he was not in charge of firearm safety or hiring and had been told the gun did not contain any live ammunition.
