Bloodied Alec Baldwin is ‘shot’ and ‘hung’ in new ‘Rust’ photos
Dead man walking.
Alec Baldwin was photographed in character on the newly-resumed set of “Rust” being taken to the gallows to be hung.
In pictures obtained by Page Six, the actor stood on set with a large blood stain on his shirt before he was carried by two men to meet his fate.
A noose could be seen getting placed around Baldwin’s neck, but it’s unclear whether the actual hanging will be shown in the Joel Souza-directed film.
The newly released images come a week after the criminal charges filed against the “Beetlejuice” actor, 65, for the fatal 2021 shooting of Halyna Hutchins were dropped.
Hutchins, a cinematographer on “Rust,” was fatally shot on the movie set when Baldwin’s prop gun discharged a live round, hitting her in the chest. She was 42.
Souza was also wounded in the shooting, however, he survived and charges were not filed regarding his injuries.

In a statement on April 20, prosecutors Jason Lewis and Kari Morrissey said they could not “proceed under the current time constraints and on the facts and evidence turned over by law enforcement in its existing form.
“We therefore will be dismissing the involuntary manslaughter charges against Mr. Baldwin to conduct further investigation,” their statement continued, before adding that charges could be refiled against Baldwin.
The decision to drop the charges against the father of seven came after his legal team introduced new evidence indicating that the gun used in the shooting had been modified.
Baldwin maintained his innocence throughout the course of the investigation, denying ever pulling the gun’s trigger and pleading not guilty to the accidental killing in February.
The “My Sister’s Keeper” actor was originally facing up to five years in prison, which later was decreased to only 18 months behind bars.
After Baldwin was cleared of the charges, he thanked his fans in Montana for their support as filming resumed for the movie.
“Montana is stunning. I’m grateful for all of the support I have received here,” he said on Instagram on April 24.
He also gave a shout-out to his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, for being by his side throughout the entire ordeal.
“I owe everything I have to this woman,” he captioned a flick that featured him snuggling up to his wife at a restaurant.
