At the Boulder International Film Festival on Saturday (March 5th), Alec Baldwin commented on the lawsuits filed regarding the fatal Rust shooting, saying that “deep-pocket litigants” are being targeted.
“What you have is a certain group of people, litigants and whatever, on whatever side, who their attitude is, 'well the people who likely seem negligent have no money and the people who have money are not negligent,'” he said.
Baldwin did not specify any lawsuit in particular, though he and other members of production are facing at least three lawsuits—one from the family of Halyna Hutchins and two from crew members.
