Actor Michael Shannon largely blamed the production crew over Alec Baldwin's fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Shannon, who is making his debut directorial role with the film Eric Larue about the aftermath of a school shooting, shared his insight about on-set armory with the Chicago Tribune."I’m not condemning Alec," Shannon said."I feel horrible for the guy. It’s a nightmare. I feel terrible for everyone on that production."
In his experience, all"risky" scenes begin with a safety meeting led by the assistant director before filming even begins for the day. Shannon went on to postulate that the production crew"cut corners" and went against typical procedure. Rust's assistant director David Halls notably signed a plea agreement after the New Mexico First district attorney charged him of negligent use of a deadly weapon. As a result, he now has a suspended sentence and faces six months of probation. No one has been charged regarding the injuries director Joel Souza sustained from the shooting. Shannon suggested the film's modest budget of $7 million wasn't enough to make the movie"the right way.
