Blood-Stained Clothes, Script Used in Deadly ‘Rust’ Shooting
The script photographed by investigators shows the scene was supposed to feature a confrontation between Rust and his nemesis, U.S. Marshal Wood Helm. In the scene, “Wood rolls over, trying to get up, and clutches a wounded shoulder” while Baldwin’s character holds the notorious Colt .45., per the documents.
Rust, who is also apparently wounded in the sequence, tells the marshal of his grandson, “He ain’t no killer.”
“So, I guess I’m gonna take this out, pull it and go, ‘Bang!'” Baldwin reportedly said before the gun unexpectedly went off during the rehearsal.
