The production company announced an agreement on October 5 with matthew hutchins, the director of photography’s widower. Under the agreement, production will be allowed to resume after a 15-month break. matthew hutchins said in a statement that completing the film would be a way to “pay homage to Halyna’s final work.”
Halyna Hutchins was shot while preparing a scene in a church with the actor alec baldwin on Oct. 21, 2021. Baldwin drew a gun, which he was told was “cold,” and fired. The bullet went through his body and lodged in director Joel Souza’s shoulder. She was airlifted to a hospital, where she died. Souza, who is returning to complete the film, was released from the hospital later that day.
Investigators have since determined that the gunsmith, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, loaded a live bullet into Baldwin’s gun. Several other live rounds were also found on the set.
Some members of the original production team have expressed reservations about resuming the project, with one telling Variety that they “want nothing to do with it.”
The original production was shot under agreements with industry unions, and the reboot would also be covered by those agreements, Spadone said. He also said that the production would have a “security officer” on set.
The goal is to complete the film and submit Hutchins’ work for consideration for film awards, Spadone said.
