“ Rust ” director Joel Souza , in his first interview since the movie’s fatal shooting in 2021, has recalled the moment that a prop gun held by Alec Baldwin shot him and cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and how he later came to the decision to finish the film.
“At the hospital, the doctor was like, ‘You have a bullet in you.’ And I was just like, ‘What the hell are you talking about? You’re wrong,’” he said. “I kept explaining that I’d come from a movie set and it’s not possible for there to be a real bullet on a movie set. It’s not allowed. You can’t have it. This is the biggest sin you could ever commit on a movie set.”
“If it was me that had gotten killed instead of her—as it should have been—she would do the same thing. She would push for my final work to be seen,” he said.
