Baldwin was fully responsible for overseeing everything and ensuring the safety of his employees.

Was Baldwin main director? If he is not why he is blamed. Main director should control everything and be responsabile.

Though sad, this is not the first time actors have died when shooting a movie, one happened in my country around last year if am not mistaken. At the end of the day the movie would go on.

The Rust film will be the more popular owing to the tragic death that occurred during its production.
May the soul of the killed crew member continue to rest in peace.

No, Baldwin was not the director. He was the star and one of the producers and co-wrote the story but the director was Joel Souza. Souza was also wounded by the bullet.

How much percentage of the box office revenue did the husband get? And how is he even sure the movie would do well commercially? Wouldn't he have gotten compensation if they had gone ahead with the case?

I guess I'm not the only one who is suspicious of the husband. I didn't say this, but I was thinking it.

You are not the only one. The husband is likely an opportunist that sees the incident as an easy pathway to become rich.

Are you implying that he had her killed? That would be a very silly way to do that, since there was no guarantee that she would be killed. The bullet also injured a second person. This probably isn't going to lead to riches for him either. What a cinematographer makes out of one movie isn't huge, and if she hadn't died she'd have continued making money on more movies.

Re. the lawsuit, bear in mind that the couple have a young son, whom the husband probably also wants to be provided for, and after two years Hutchin's estate hadn't been paid the money they were supposed to get.

The husband obviously didn't have her killed. But he is ready to cash out the easier way from the death of his wife instead of the longer path.

I really feel for this lady. In every endeavor, it is the person that dies that loses it all. The movie would still premier and possibly sell well while she paid the ultimate price.

if he sued, the case could take 10 years or more. I guess he rather earn the money for their kids.
