The Gun Fired by Alec Baldwin’s Rust Set Couldn’t Have Gone Off Without Pulling the Trigger, FBI Says
The gun fired by Alec Baldwin on the set of Rust — killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza — could not have gone off without Baldwin pulling the trigger, according to an FBI forensic report obtained by ABC News. In the incident, which occurred last October in Sante Fe, New Mexico, Baldwin believed he was handling a “cold gun,” or one without live ammunition, when it went off and struck Hutchins in the stomach. Baldwin insisted that he never pulled the trigger, but the FBI’s forensic research says otherwise. Using accidental discharge testing, investigators determined that the .45 Colt caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger.” The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator has classifi...
Woody Allen Makes Fans Happy for First Time in Years, Tells Alec Baldwin He Might Retire
Filmmaker and accused child molester Woody Allen has dropped his first true crowd-pleaser in years, unveiling in a bonkers interview with Alec Baldwin that he may soon retire. “I’ll probably make at least one more movie,” the 86-year-old told Baldwin on Instagram Live June 28th. “A lot of the thrill is gone. When I used to do a film it’d go into a movie house all across the country. Now you do a movie and you get a couple weeks in a movie house. Maybe six weeks or four weeks and then it goes right to streaming or pay-per-view… It’s not the same… It’s not as enjoyable to me.” Allen has known Baldwin for decades, and directed the actor in 1990’s Alice, 2012’s To Rome with Love, and 2013’s Blue Jasmine. He added, “I don’t get the same fun doing a movie and putting it in a ...
Alec Baldwin to Alienate Remaining Fans with Interview of Woody Allen
After Alec Baldwin was involved in the accidental fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins, you may have thought, ‘He wouldn’t do anything else to cause controversy… Woody?’” But as the veteran actor announced on social media, he’ll be interviewing filmmaker and accused child molester Woody Allen on Tuesday, June 28th, at 10:30 a.m. ET. “Let me preface this by stating that I have ZERO INTEREST in anyone’s judgments and sanctimonious posts here,” Baldwin wrote. “I am OBVIOUSLY someone who has my own set of beliefs and COULD NOT CARE LESS about anyone else’s speculation. If you believe that a trial should be conducted by way of an HBO documentary, that’s your issue.” This is a reference to Allen v Farrow, HBO’s four-part documentary that follows the collapse of Allen’s longtime rela...
