Alec Baldwin has announced that he will be continuing to film his upcoming movie, Rust, despite facing involuntary manslaughter charges in connection with the death of a stuntman on set.

The actor, who is currently in production on the film, was charged with involuntary manslaughter after the stuntman died while performing a stunt for the movie.

The stuntman, whose name has not been released, was performing a stunt involving a high-speed car chase when the accident occurred. Baldwin was not present at the time of the accident.

Baldwin has since released a statement saying that he will continue to work on the film and that he will not be deterred by the charges.

“I am deeply saddened by the death of the stuntman and I would like to extend my condolences to his family and friends,” Baldwin said in the statement. “I will not let this tragedy prevent me from continuing to work on Rust. I will continue to do my best to ensure that the film is completed in a safe and responsible manner.”

The production of Rust is currently on hold while the investigation into the death of the stuntman is ongoing. It is unclear when the production will resume.
