New 'Rust' Video Shows Alec Baldwin Telling Halyna Hutchins To Move During Rehearsal

New video from the set of "Rust" shows Alec Baldwin telling cinematographer Halyna Hutchins to move shortly before she was shot and killed during a rehearsal on the set of the Western film.

The incident occurred on October 21, 2021; however, charges were not filed against Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed until January 2023. Charges against Baldwin were dismissed without prejudice in the spring as prosecutors continued to build their case against the 65-year-old actor.

On November 16, 2023, a video clip surfaced showing the "30 Rock" actor taking charge of the "Rust" set before his gun went off. At one point, he tells Halyna Hutchins to move away, saying, "I don't want to shoot toward you. I want to shoot close to you."

A woman can be heard telling people to move out of the way, but it is unclear who that voice belongs to. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was reportedly not in the church at the time of the rehearsal when Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed. Director Joel Souza, who had been standing behind Halyna Hutchins, was also hospitalized as a result of the incident.

The video clip, obtained by NBC News, was taken only days before Halyna Hutchins was killed on set. Although Baldwin was holding the gun, he has maintained that he never pulled the trigger. An FBI analysis of the prop gun conducted last August, however, indicated that the trigger had to be pulled in order for the gun to fire.

Baldwin is listed as an executive producer on the film, although he has insisted that it was only in a creative capacity and claimed that he was not in charge of production on the set of the Western film. However, in one of the video clips, Baldwin fires another shot even after director Joel Souza yelled, "Cut!"

Last month, sources told NBC News that special prosecutors were considering filing criminal charges against the actor again as they continued their investigation into the shooting. His charges have no impact on the case against Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. The rookie armorer has pleaded not guilty; her trial date is currently scheduled for February 2024.

Sources previously told NBC News that special prosecutors planned to bring Baldwin's case before a grand jury in mid-November. According to two separate sources, discussions of a plea deal to a petty misdemeanor was rescinded days before the news broke.

One source revealed that prosecutors no longer believe that the gun had been modified in a way that would cause it to go off on its own after additional testing. Instead, the source claimed that prosecutors had found new evidence that connected Baldwin to allegations of recklessness around safety standards on the set of "Rust."

In a statement, Baldwin's attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro said, "It is unfortunate that a terrible tragedy has been turned into this misguided prosecution," adding, "We will answer any charges in court."

In a separate statement, special prosecutor Kari Morrissey said, "We believe that based on our lengthy and detailed investigation that it is appropriate for a grand jury in New Mexico to make a decision on whether the case should proceed."

As The Blast previously reported, the "Supercell" actor announced plans to step away from acting and create a reality show based on his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, and their seven children.

The couple tied the knot in 2012. They now share children Carmen, 10, Rafael, 8, Leonardo, 6, Romeo, 5, Eduardo and Lucia, both 2, and Ilaria, 1. The actor also shares daughter Ireland Baldwin with his ex-wife, actress Kim Basinger.

The 65-year-old actor told host Kelly Ripa on SiriusXM's "Let's Talk Off Camera" about how he would like to pursue a career in reality television in order to spend more time with his children as they grow up.

"I've been working less and less and less and I'm home and my wife and we wanna travel the world with the kids," Baldwin explained. "I mean, I wanna show seven kids Rome and London and Paris and Madrid and blah, blah, blah. And we're thinking about that now, where we have a different life in terms of work. I really do think about, you know, I've kinda had enough, I mean, I've done this for a long time and I wanna have a private life."
