The fate of Alec Baldwin’s career has been hanging in a balance ever since a prop gun misfired on the set of Rust, leaving one crew member dead. While Baldwin was initially facing criminal charges with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, the charges regarding Rust have been dropped. Now with the criminal charges gone, it was announced that Baldwin would be making a movie with Nick Cannon and Mickey Rourke.
More than a year after the fatal shooting, filming for Rust resumed forward on the same day that Baldwin was cleared of the charges. One day after filming started again, it was announced by Deadline that the 30 Rock star landed his next film, Mike Hatton’s directorial debut Hollywood Heist. This comedy crime movie will have a star-studded cast featuring Nick Cannon, Mickey Rourke, Tara Reid, and more alongside Baldwin.
