'Hocus Pocus 2' Wraps Filming & Producer Teases Release Date!

There’s another Star Trek on the way!

This morning Hutchins estate attorney Brian Panish put blame on Rust producers and Baldwin for their negligence with safety during production of the western that led to Hutchins being shot and killed by a prop gun discharged by the Oscar nominated actor, an incident that also saw the pic’s director Joel Souza injured. Using an animated video to reconstruct the alleged incidents that occurred, Panish showed Baldwin cross-drawing and firing the gun straight at crew during a “line-up”.

Other defendants named in the lawsuit filed in Santa Fe County include the production’s assistant director Dave Halls, who handed Baldwin the firearm that shot Hutchins, and the production’s prop master, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.The lawsuit has long been expected since Hutchins’ husband hired the law firm Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi LLP, which specializes in wrongful death lawsuits, this past November. One of the firm’s partners, Bryan Panish, is serving as lead lawyer on the case after securing a $2.2 billion settlement for victims of California wildfires and mudslides last year.
