The walls are closing in on Alec Baldwin

Published February 15, 2022 7:34pm ET



Despite his teary lamentation in December that he might never act again, actor Alec Baldwin was spotted returning to a film set in England just last week. Despite fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the since-defunct film Rust back in October, Baldwin seemed to have gotten away with the killing, both as the actor who aimed a loaded gun at Hutchins without following the basic firearm safety law of checking its chamber and as the producer of a set riddled with safety violations.

But alas, the walls are finally closing in on the famously violent curmudgeon. Hutchins’s family has finally filed a wrongful death suit against Baldwin and the “others who are responsible for the safety on set, and whose reckless behavior and cost-cutting led to the senseless, tragic death” of the slain cinematographer.
