Alec Baldwin has reached a settlement with the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, after she was killed on a film set when he fired a prop gun.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Filming of Rust will continue in January, with Ms Hutchins’ widower Matthew on board as the movie’s executive producer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

All parties believe Ms Hutchins’ death was an accident, her husband said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A lawsuit filed against Mr Baldwin, producers and others, had alleged violations of industry standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The exact terms of the settlement, which is subject to court approval, have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

In a statement, Mr Hutchins said that “all the original principal players” would be involved when filming resumes, which he said would be a way to “pay tribute” to his late wife’s final work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I have no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame,” he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“All of us believe Halyna’s death was a terrible accident.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Painful situation’<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Baldwin posted his reaction in a statement on Instagram: “We are pleased to announce today the settlement of the civil case filed on behalf of the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Rust director Joel Souza, who was also injured in the shooting on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set near Santa Fe in New Mexico, said in a statement on Wednesday that he would now devote himself “to honouring Halyna’s legacy and making her proud”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Though certainly bittersweet, I am pleased that together, we will now complete what Halyna and I started,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
