Hutchins was killed https://reut.rs/3PoJbwM in
October when a revolver that actor Alec Baldwin was rehearsing
with during filming in New Mexico fired a live round that hit
her and movie director Joel Souza. Souza was wounded but
survived.
"We're confident we'll be able to complete the movie," Anjul
Nigam, one of the producers, was quoted as saying by Hollywood
Reporter.
A representative of Nigam did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
Last month, the state of New Mexico fined https://reut.rs/3FP8YcR
Rust Movie Productions the maximum amount possible, $137,000,
for what it called "willful" safety lapses leading to Hutchins'
death. The company said it disagreed with the findings.
Baldwin, also a producer on the film, has been named in several
lawsuits filed in connection with Hutchins' death, including one
by her husband.
Baldwin, 64, has denied responsibility for Hutchins' death and
said live rounds should never have been allowed onto the set of
the Western film at Bonanza Creek Ranch.
The actor also has argued in court papers that an
indemnification clause in his contract shields him from personal
liability.
