This Deadline piece lists a bunch of other producers involved, plus a couple of financiers including the vaunted CAA, so how invested Baldwin is in it remains to be seen.

B Kevin M, to moi and Adam, Oct 22nd: > I’ve been on the record disliking Alec Baldwin long before it was > fashionable, not because of his politics, but because of a combination of > his lack of character and lack of talent. But as they tend to do, > conservative social media (and more than a few high ranking GOP > politicians) are vilifying the guy before any of the facts are in. I cannot > stand Baldwin, but I don’t believe he intended to actually shoot or kill > anyone. If it turns out decisions to cut corners on crew safety were made > by him, that’d certainly be in keeping with his reputation as a bastard, > but we don’t know that yet. I’m fully prepared to have another reason to > dislike a Baldwin brother, but I’ll hold off until I know more details. > > In the meantime, if Baldwin had an ounce of compassion, he’d pay the whole > crew out of his own pocket for the full scheduled duration of the shoot, > but scrub the project… this is not a film anybody needs to see, and the > public relations cost to release the film is going to be larger than any > profit made from the picture. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
