A movie weapons supervisor is facing up to 18 months in prison for the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film “Rust,” with her sentencing scheduled for Monday in a New Mexico state court.
Movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted in March by a jury on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and has been held for more than a month at a county jail on the outskirts of Santa Fe.
Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer for “Rust,” was pointing a gun at Hutchins when the revolver went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.

Prosecutors blamed Gutierrez-Reed for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the set of “Rust” where it was expressly prohibited and for failing to follow basic gun safety protocols. After a two-week trial, the jury deliberated for about three hours in reaching its verdict.
You can keep your fake-ass CGI gunshots to yourself, I will keep only watching movies where all deaths are real
Animals were definitely harmed during the making of this movie. And it wasn’t just one or two, it was a pretty apalling number of them. We’re not good people.
I’ve been going through some of the IMDb top 100 and occasionally an animal will very clearly just really have died for that movie and I just don’t understand why. Immediately ruins the entire movie for me every time. Oldboy being a great example.
On the bright side they won’t be able to fake out character deaths anymore. That that Jon Snow.
