Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the gunsmith in charge of the Rust set, is accused of negligently bringing real bullets onto the set, which would have ended up in Alec Baldwin’s gun. While he was rehearsing a scene in the film, the gun discharged and caused the cinematographer’s death, in 2021.
Hannah Gutierrez Reed’s trial will take place from February 21 to March 6 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as justice seeks to shed light on the events that led to Hutchins’ tragic death.
