The legal team of Hutchins' family presented a video simulation to recreate the incident that happen on set.
The animated reconstruction, titled "The Killing of Halyna Hutchins on the set of 'Rust'", lasts nearly 10 minutes and shows Baldwin pulling the trigger of a gun that was supposed to have been a prop with blank bullets. The bullet can be seen passing clean through Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.
"The morning that Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed, tensions among the crew and cast regarding safety on the 'Rust' set had boiled over", the narrator says in the video.
The lawsuit on behalf of Hutchins' husband and nine-year-old son was filed in a New Mexico District Court. In addition to Baldwin, among the defendants were listed assistant director David Halls, director of the picture Katherine Walters, armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, and weapons supplier Seth Kenny.
The document posits that the accused film producers were aware of serious security shortcomings, including three accidental shootings on the set, with the latest taking place just a few days before Hutchins' death. Nevertheless, the producers reportedly ignored the complaints, and their "reckless behaviour and cost-cutting measures" led to the tragic incident.
Hutchins died on the set of "Rust" in October of last year after Baldwin fired from a weapon that was believed to be a prop. The actor has denied being at fault, saying that he did not know there was a live cartridge inside.
