Quentin Tarantino Explains Why Alec Baldwin Was '10% Responsible' For 'Rust' Shooting
HuffPost
While the director said the film's firearms coordinator held most of the blame, he argued actors still have to do their "due diligence" on set.
Quentin Tarantino thinks Alec Baldwin holds some responsibility for the fatal shooting that occurred on the set of his western film, “Rust,” back in 2021.
The director discussed the incident and Baldwin’s subsequent criminal trial during an appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast. The episode was released on Sunday.
Though Maher thought it was absurd that Baldwin was charged with mishandling the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza, Tarantino disagreed.
“I think I am being fair enough to say that the armorer, the guy who handles the gun, is 90% responsible for everything that happens when it comes to that gun,” said the “Pulp Fiction” director, who has had prop firearms on many of his film sets.
“But the actor is 10% responsible,” Tarantino added. “The actor is 10% responsible. It’s a gun. You are a partner in the responsibility to some degree.”
