A settlement with the family of the cinematographer who was slain on the set called for resuming production, with her widower serving as an executive producer.
The officials who decided to bring involuntary manslaughter charges against the actor say he should have ensured the gun was safe to handle. Mr. Baldwin says that others were responsible.
The film’s armorer will face the same charge. A cinematographer was killed when a gun Baldwin was rehearsing with went off. There was not supposed to be live ammunition on the set.
Halyna Hutchins was killed on set when a gun held by Alec Baldwin went off. A settlement with producers, including Baldwin, means the film will resume production in January.
