After taking on the MCU multiverse, Chris Pratt isn’t ruling out a jaunt to the DCU.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer A judge has rejected Alec Baldwin‘s argument that his case should be thrown out because the FBI destroyed his Colt .45 revolver during testing. The ruling keeps Baldwin on track to face a trial on July 9 in Santa Fe, N.M., on the charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin is accused of negligently pointing the revolver at Hutchins while working to set up a shot.

Alec Baldwin will still face a New Mexico jury next month for his involuntary manslaughter trial in the 2021 death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer A New Mexico judge on Friday denied Alec Baldwin‘s second attempt to throw out his manslaughter indictment, finding that it should be up to a jury to decide if his recklessness led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin is due to face a trial in Santa Fe beginning on July 9.

Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial next month for the fatal 2021 shooting of Rust  cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is still on, a New Mexico judge ruled today.

Jared Padalecki has accepted Eric Kripke‘s invitation to join The Boys.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Alec Baldwin‘s lawyers have filed a fourth motion to throw out his manslaughter indictment, alleging that the prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence showing that his Colt .45 revolver was damaged at the time of a fatal accident. Baldwin’s defense accuses prosecutor Kari Morrissey of improperly withholding an expert’s report showing “unexplained toolmarks” on the gun’s sear — the portion of the trigger that holds the hammer in place. Baldwin is accused of pointing the gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and firing while setting up for a scene in October 2021.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Prosecutors in the Alec Baldwin trial intend to argue that the actor displayed a pattern of recklessness with firearms on the set of “Rust” before the fatal shooting of the film’s cinematographer. In a filing on Monday, prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Erlinda Johnson alleged that Baldwin fired a blank round at a crew member while using the crew member to establish a line of sight. The prosecutors also accuse Baldwin of engaging in “horseplay” with a revolver during training, and allege that he was “erratic and aggressive” during filming, which raised safety concerns.
