Husband of 'Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has hired lawyers and 'is set to file wrongful death lawsuit': Attorney for movie armorer claims disgruntled saboteur put live round in gun Alec Baldwin fired

The husband of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was shot dead on the set of Alec Baldwin's movie Rust, has hired lawyers and is set to file a wrongful death lawsuit, according to a report.

Matthew Hutchins has hired the firm Panish, Shea, Boyle and Ravipudi in Los Angeles, TMZ reports.

Sources told the outlet that there will be multiple defendants in the suit and it will be filed on behalf of Matthew and their son Andros, nine, following her death on October 21.

The news of the lawsuit comes as attorneys representing Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed suggested that a disgruntled film crew member may have planted the live round that killed cinematographer Hutchins inside a box of prop ammunition in a bid to 'sabotage' the film.

In the wake of the fatal shooting that also wounded director Joel Souza, several crew members have come out claiming that they were overworked and denied hotel rooms in the vicinity of the New Mexico set.

Gutierrez Reed's attorneys floated the theory that one of those 'disgruntled' crew members may have planted the live round on set as an act of revenge, during an interview with the Today show's Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday.

'I believe that somebody who would do that, would want to sabotage the set, would want to prove a point, want to say they're disgruntled, they're unhappy,' Jason Bowles said.

'And we know that people had already walked off the set the day before… and the reason they are unhappy is they're working 12 to 14 hour days, they are not given hotel rooms in and around the area, so they had to drive back and forth an hour to Albuquerque, and they're unhappy.'
