Recently released videos from the set of “Rust” show Alec Baldwin shooting prop guns and talking to the crew about gun safety, telling one person to get away from the camera because “I don’t want to shoot at you.”
The videos, obtained and published by NBC News on Wednesday, were reportedly filmed days before the actor fired a live bullet and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021.
The never-before-seen footage, about seven minutes in five clips, emerged a day before a grand jury is set to consider new manslaughter charges against Baldwin.
One of the videos reportedly shows him lying on the ground and telling someone to move to the “other side of the camera” because “I don’t want to shoot at you.”
In another video, Baldwin asks for a blanket to be placed next to him and uses it as a landing pad after tossing the gun aside.
The actor is also seen in character firing a prop gun before he runs out of fake bullets.

“One more, one more, one more. Right now, right now, let’s reload,” Baldwin says, apparently in an attempt to keep the scene moving, according to the video posted by NBC News. “We should have had two guns and both reloading.”
In the other videos, Baldwin stops filming the western drama to check the crew’s safety and tells them they should use a safer part of a steep trail. At one point, a cameraman falls and the actor repeatedly asks, “Are you okay?”
According to the report, the videos are among dozens of clips submitted last month to special prosecutors after they were first requested from Rust Movie Productions LLC in the spring.
According to NBC News, it was unclear how much of the new footage was reviewed by prosecutors.
Prosecutor Kari Morrissey declined to comment to the outlet, citing pending grand jury proceedings, when asked what video her team reviewed and whether any of it was used to decide on charges.

A source familiar with the case told NBC News that the five videos could be presented to the grand jury.
The outlet previously reported that prosecutors are set to charge Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter.
Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, Baldwin’s attorneys at the Quinn Emanuel firm, told The Post last month: “It is unfortunate that a terrible tragedy has turned into this misguided prosecution. We will respond to any charges in court.”

Morrissey and his colleague Jason Lewis dismissed Baldwin’s initial manslaughter charge in April due to “new facts” in the case, but retained the right to charge the actor, writing: “This decision does not absolve Mr. Baldwin of guilt. criminal and charges”. he can run again.”
Director Joel Souza was also injured in the incident that occurred on set.
Baldwin told ABC News he had “no idea” how a real bullet got onto the ‘Rust’ set, but added that he “didn’t pull the trigger” on the Colt .45 revolver.
Investigators who disassembled the prop gun found that it had worn joints and the trigger control was not working properly, according to NBC.
