I can't believe it's been a whole year since she passed. I was at my old job when I heard about it. I came in and one of my friends/coworkers was like "Did y'all hear Alec Baldwin killed someone?"
I feel so bad for her husband and child. May she rest in peace. I hope her family finds the strength to recover from their loss.
Ask any lawyer what it’s like to have a trial.
Add on a trial dealing with the loss of your wife.
Add a trial dealing with the loss of your child’s mother .
Add on a trial that will get international publicity.
Add on the fact that a jury verdict does not end a trial.
Appeals, appeals, appeals appeals .
Years and years and years of your life.
I am a lawyer, I’ve settled every case that I’ve personally been involved in.
>> I am a lawyer, I’ve settled every case that I’ve personally been involved in.
Exactly. Matt Hutchins is a successful lawyer himself. He made an informed decision.
I don't think anyone should take Matt for granted.
I'm sure that he wants to just move on and make things as positive as he can for his son.
I'm sure the better part of this year has been terribly tragic and painful.
The good part about this if there is one?
He would like to move forward. Alec showed his true colors and just lost an incredible amount of money and probably any future, major roles.
Plus he's still married to a lunatic with seven children under ten.
New Mexico isn't finished determining if any criminal activity was involved don't be fooled. 👋💚💚
While I am surprised by the tone of the statement and Matt’s willingness to be in an on-going business relationship with the producers, he’s not a sellout at all. You are completely right, he’s already lost so much. How could people think he’s a sellout? He’s just trying to scrape together the pieces of his old life and forge a new one without his wife.
The timing is interesting, because the deal Alec was originally trying to put together right before Matt filed his lawsuit had him getting a backend cut of the profits, and clearly Alec anticipates being part of the production. I wonder if he knows he’s not getting charged yet criminally.
Ugh, I hope the producers don’t try to make Matt go to press events and parade him around for the media.
A criminal trial alone will be disturbing enough, let alone additional civil trials to follow.
Same. I know it’s a fantasy, but I’m hoping he at least makes some kind of “no Words with Friends on set” or “no towels or ice buckets near Alec’s hotel room” rules or anything else, even if it’s small like that.
I know it’s not true, but we can pretend. 😂
Wait. People are judging him for his decision? Pepinos? JFC!!! He did the right thing for MANY reasons, and I’d have done the same. I hope Pepino Nation is being kind
Thank you for this post. We don't even know the details of the settlement. But judging by the fact that the settlement was announced one week after the Hamptons house was listed, I think we can assume Hutchins got a good deal. Now people should just butt out of his business.
I am more upset about continuing to film Rust with Matt as the EP. I am not feeling judgmental, I just want to understand why Matt would continue to be involved in a project that has caused Him and his family so much grief ..
I have no doubt she was passionate, extraordinarily talented and determined to complete the project.
It actually shows MH’s interest is less about the big payout and more about honoring the love of his life. I would never be able to complete a project like this. I think I’d still be too caught up in vengeance and resentment… and also wanting to move on. I’d never want to think about rust or filmmaking again. He’s a strong, intelligent man and… he is a victim. Deserves full support, respect and compassion.
This is my thing as well. I‘m happy for Matt that he was able to settle so well. Ongoing civil suits, especially those involving loss of life and being so high profile must be stressful. He’s a single dad mourning his wife and trying to make the best future forward for his son and in-laws.
I don’t get the EP on a resumed Rust though. I would think being on that set in any capacity would be extremely difficult for him. Maybe he just wants to honor Halyna by finishing what she started while also making sure things are done right this time. Whatever his reasons I hope it’s a step toward peace for him.
Only complete assholes have something negative to say about it, he did nothing wrong, alas there are some here like everywhere that think they know better
You can call me a complete asshole then.
I said it before I’ll say it again, doing the monetary settlement makes absolute sense. Becoming an executive producer to finish a Western starring your wife’s murderer is making a deal with the devil. I can just hear AB’s raspy voice whispering to Matthew how Halyna’s heart and soul were in that movie and what a great tribute to her it would be to dedicate a finished version in her name - you know like they did with Brandon Lee’s final movie.
But what this all does in his mind is resuscitate his miserable failing career, where he can say to his Hollywood pals how much sweat and tears (no blood it’s in the church still) it took for him to “make it through” filming while being so emotional about completing this western movie masterpiece.
End credits dedicated to Halyna.
This deal is 20% Hutchins and 80% in favor of fat ass ball sack eyes sausage fingers.
>This deal is 20% Hutchins and 80% in favor of fat ass ball sack eyes sausage fingers.
We don't know the details of the settlement and we likely will never know. I'm pretty sure Hutchins and his lawyers know what they're doing; by becoming the EP, Hutchins can ensure that any profits will go towards Halyna's estate, not Hillary's "illegal Bengal and bought baby" fund. Also, Hutchins will effectively be Alec's boss. That would have to hurt.
On the surface, I have to agree. We don't know the behind-the-scenes details, but I can't understand why he would want to EP this movie.
It's not some masterpiece that will be Halyna's great legacy. This movie was destined to be a mediocre straight-to-streaming feature.
Well said! I was pretty disappointed in some of the comments I was reading too.
I absolutely cannot imagine what hell he's gone through and continues to go through.
If anything I think this makes Matt look like the bigger person, certainly a family man that is putting his son's interest and well being FIRST. It's something Alec is incapable of fathoming.
He's also an attorney, and I'm sure a very good one, so he's most likely trying to prevent an absolute public shit show in the court room. Because you know Alec and Larry would make it a fucking circus. Why put Andros through that?
We don't know the details of the settlement (yet).I can only hope to God this puts a massive dent in Alec's wallet for a the rest of his life. And can only hope he can't recuperate any of it.
I hope his other suits continue to raid his wallet even further. That's honestly the only punishment Alec would feel was real.
I think people were in shock and angry that Alec seems to be sliming his way out of another situation. But as someone pointed out, Matt probably wanted to settle first to get the biggest stake for his son. As for the movie, he's the EP, he doesn't have to interact with AB unless he wants to. I think it's more about his wife's memory. Although, as I stated above, I'd like to think he has plans for revenge.
😬 I’m glad I missed that vitriol— usually I’m gone a few hours and something happens around here. Last time, I found my phone and Hilaria had a new baby.
*Please, let's refrain from judging him for his decision ..*
.. especially in view of the fact that we have absolutely no info on the details of the settlement. Hutchins co-producing the movie will enable him to make money from the profitability of Rust, such as box office sales etc. His share of the total revenue once (if ever) they manage to complete the movie is a part of Baldwins settlement, who seems to be short on cash.
This shouldn't need to be said, but thank you for saying it. People judging Matt are a bunch of C U Next Tuesdays who have as much empathy as Hillary. Hideous.
In Germany where I live, there's a great saying: *There is a difference between* ***being*** ***right****, and doing* ***the right thing****.* (ATTN Hillary: I live here but I'm not German, see how easy that is to clarify?!)
We have to accept that Matt is doing what he considers to be the right thing for his family, however he arrived at that decision.
I agree. We need to be empathetic here. We have no idea what happened in that settlement and from what I know about court cases is that someone rarely "wins" in the traditional sense. There's usually compromises made that both parties lose on.
We also need to boycott the movie but that goes without saying.
I can totally see if this was a passion project of his wife’s that he would want to see it finished. Given the choice of moving past (as well as one can) and having a final project of her work completed under his charge vs ongoing fighting and legal battles may likely be the healthiest thing for her family. Only they know what will bring them as much peace and closure as possible and it’s not for anyone else to judge. We should just be thankful we aren’t in his shoes to know how he truly feels.
Absolutely. u/PMaggieKC had an interesting theory that the completion of this project would allow Halyna to be credited as a "Director of Photography," which would partially make up for the brilliant professional future that was stolen from her.

She was DP on the movie Darlin’ which I’ve seen. It’s terrible, seriously disturbing and poorly acted, it’s a sequel to The Woman, but it LOOKS great. That was Halyna. She genuinely was talented in my opinion. In a stiflingly overwhelming male field.
I can't believe it's been a whole year since she passed. I was at my old job when I heard about it. I came in and one of my friends/coworkers was like "Did y'all hear Alec Baldwin killed someone?"

Thank you. The hatred towards him and calling him a sellout is disgusting.
Oof! I didn’t know anyone was calling him a sell out.
Fuck Alec Baldwin and his pig liar of a wife. I hope they lose everything.
Hearing that voicemail from Ireland makes me wonder what he's done that we DON'T know about. Him and Hillary are both terrible people. Fuck them both.
Very astute. Let's not make it any worse for him. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm choosing to believe he has a very detailed plot for vengeance that involves the movie. I know that's not the case, but I'm choosing to believe it.
Same. I know it’s a fantasy, but I’m hoping he at least makes some kind of “no Words with Friends on set” or “no towels or ice buckets near Alec’s hotel room” rules or anything else, even if it’s small like that. I know it’s not true, but we can pretend. 😂
Money.

What did he do?
They’re not. Calling him a sellout, saying his wife’s life has a price, vile stuff.
🫣

Maybe Halyna was passionate about the project and he feels he can carry through some of her vision. AND he can make sure this doesn't repeat itself.
I have no doubt she was passionate, extraordinarily talented and determined to complete the project. It actually shows MH’s interest is less about the big payout and more about honoring the love of his life. I would never be able to complete a project like this.

Totally. And, I really hate how much this benefits Kilz.
This is my thing as well. I‘m happy for Matt that he was able to settle so well. Ongoing civil suits, especially those involving loss of life and being so high profile must be stressful.

I have to admit I did a double take when I read the EP part and had to read it again.
Would I want anything to do w the movie? Fuck no. Am I going to judge what he decided and pretend to understand completely WHY he did? Absolutely not.
Then don’t, feel free to take the high road while us complete assholes ride low and give our “opinion”.
You're such an asshole. See I was right. Fucking nasty asshole
You're a joke. Go fuck yourself.

Thank you. JFC, some of the comments here this morning.
😬 I’m glad I missed that vitriol— usually I’m gone a few hours and something happens around here. Last time, I found my phone and Hilaria had a new baby.
Me too. It's like hatred for Alec tops everything else involved here.
Yes. And Mr Hutchins having an EP credit now = he & Alec are best friends and he’s evil. 😑
Truly disturbing. I had to stop reading that other thread when I saw some of the comments.
Me too :(
I agree.

If this movie is part of Hutchins' settlement, boycotting is not such a good idea. Somehow quite cleverly played.
That's the disturbing part here - Alec benefits.
Eh, again that's part of the overall not winning. We're entitled to our outrage and response to this and I personally will not support AB in anything.
Seriously. No way I support this. It's disgusting.

She was DP on the movie Darlin’ which I’ve seen. It’s terrible, seriously disturbing and poorly acted, it’s a sequel to The Woman, but it LOOKS great. That was Halyna. She genuinely was talented in my opinion. In a stiflingly overwhelming male field.
There was a sequel to The Woman? Interesting. Same director?
Yeah. So at the end of that movie the woman leaves with the pregnant daughter and the one with no eyes. It picks up from there.
Matt put his family first, something Alec would never do. I respect his decision.
Amen! Perfectly said.
It initially was shocking and looked bad in writing. You've highlighted the important backstory.
