LOS ANGELES—Having been named by the “Rust” film’s chief lighting technician as a co-defendant in a lawsuit stemming from the on-set 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, the movie’s assistant director has filed a cross-complaint against Alec Baldwin and other crew members.
Ms. Hutchins, 42, was killed by a bullet fired by Baldwin, 65, from a prop weapon on the New Mexico set. Plaintiff Serge Svetnoy maintains the Oct. 21, 2021, shooting “was caused by the negligent acts and omissions” of actor/producer Mr. Baldwin, assistant director David Halls, and other crew members.
