LOS ANGELES : Actor Alec Baldwin said in a legal filing on Friday that his"Rust" movie contract protects him from financial liability in the fatal shooting of the film's cinematographer.
Baldwin has said he was heartbroken by the incident but does not believe he bears any responsibility because he was told the Colt .45 revolver he was handed was"cold," an industry term meaning it is safe to use. He has said he pulled the gun's hammer back but did not pull the trigger. In the new filing, attorneys said he provided creative input in his producing role and did not hire any crew members, who were the people responsible for ensuring gun safety procedures were followed.
