Quentin Tarantino Says Alec Baldwin Is ‘10% Responsible’ for ‘Rust’ Shooting and Using Fake Guns With VFX Is Like ‘Adding Digital Erections to Porno Movies’: ‘Who Wants to F—ing Watch That?’

Quentin Tarantino recently appeared on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, where the two discussed Alec Baldwin’s role in the shooting death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Maher did not think it was fair that Baldwin was prosecuted for involuntary manslaughter, but Tarantino said the actor was responsible to a certain degree. The gun Baldwin was holding on the “Rust” set had live rounds in it, and Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was injured when Baldwin fired it.
