LOS ANGELES — Mamie Mitchell, the script supervisor on the movie "Rust," can proceed with her lawsuit against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting of the film's cinematographer in New Mexico, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael E. Whitaker concluded that Mitchell could advance her claims of assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence against the actor who accidentally fired the weapon that fatally wounded cinematographer Halyna Hutchins a year ago, according to court filings.
The judge also allowed Mitchell to pursue punitive damages against Baldwin and his finance company El Dorado Pictures.
