In a new court filing, prosecutors have revealed some of the allegations against actor Alec Baldwin that will be presented in his upcoming trial.

The 66-year-old will stand trial in conjunction with the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot and killed in 2021 by a firearm Baldwin was holding while filming the Western film, “Rust.” The actor maintains that the gun misfired, and he never pulled the trigger. But now reps for Hutchins claim Baldwin engaged in unsafe behaviors on the set. 

New court documents claim Baldwin asked for the “biggest” gun available and proceeded to mishandle it during filming.

The documents prepared by prosecutors state that the “30 Rock” star “used his gun as a pointer directing crew members” and “discharged the revolver after the filming was over and ‘cut’ was called.”

In the court filing, prosecutors claim Baldwin “engaged in horseplay with the revolver while making videos.” Baldwin stands accused of pointing the gun at a crew member and firing a blank round “while using that crew member as a line of site (sic) as his perceived target,” according to the documents. They say he also “shot several scenes wherein he placed his finger on the trigger of the revolver where the scene did not require any shooting of the firearm.” 

Baldwin pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charges. He has attempted to have charges dismissed and rejected a plea deal.

The team also claims that the actor “was insistent that he not be required to follow safety recommendations made by film set safety experts” when filming resumed in Montana a year after Hutchins’ death.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, set armorer for “Rust,” was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter charges earlier this year. 

Baldwin also recently announced that he will star in a reality show about his life along with his wife, Hilaria, and their seven children. The news was met with skepticism, including from celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred. 

“This appears to me to be a calculated and cynical public relations move to try to influence the jury pool in New Mexico to think of him as a sympathetic family man rather than as the killer of Halyna Hutchins,” she told TMZ of the series. 

The Queen music catalog is soon to be acquired by Sony Music for an astronomical sum, according to recent reports.

Two sources told Variety that the sale worth a rumored $1.27 billion is in the works. Per Hits Daily Double, the original outlet that broke the story, the only revenue not included in the deal is live performances by two of the band’s founding members, who tour with singer Adam Lambert.

The outlet noted that another interested buyer tapped out when the figure reached $900 million.

This acquisition includes a plethora of money-making songs, which is what attracted such high sales figures. Internationally recognized classics, including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” and “Radio Ga Ga” are all part of the deal. The hit Queen singles “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” are frequently played at sporting events.

Queen is a British rock band founded in 1970. The founding members included Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). John Deacon (bass) joined the group later.

The band is one of the best-selling music artists in the world. Queen received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Each band member composed at least one hit single, leading to all four members being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.

Variety noted that Disney owns Queen’s recorded-music rights for the U.S. and Canada, which the company bought in the early 2000s. Disney would keep those rights, but some of the band members’ hefty royalties being paid out by Disney would now go to Sony, as would the group’s distribution deal and rights outside those two countries.

The acquisition would also include name and likeness rights, paving the way for musicals and other potentially lucrative future projects. For example, the 2018 biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” about Mercury’s life pulled in more than $900 million against a $52 million production budget. 

Sony is notoriously quiet about their big acquisitions, which, in the past, included Bruce Springsteen’s publishing and recorded-music rights and Bob Dylan’s recorded-music rights, the outlet noted. Neither of those deals were ever officially confirmed but have been suspected for years.
