The parents and sister of Halyna Hutchins are suing actor Alec Baldwin and others over the cinematographer's 2021 death in New Mexico during the filming of Rust, the family's lawyer has said.
The announcement on Thursday came after a Santa Fe prosecutor on January 31 charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter, accusing him of reckless disregard for safety when a revolver he was holding fired a live round that killed Ms Hutchins and injured Rust director Joel Souza.
Set armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed also was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the case.
Baldwin in October settled a separate wrongful-death lawsuit brought by Ms Hutchins's husband Matt Hutchins over the fatal shooting on a film set outside Santa Fe.
Luke Nikas, a lawyer representing Baldwin, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Under Matt Hutchins's settlement with Baldwin and the producers of Rust, filming of the movie was set to resume in early 2023 with Hutchins serving as executive producer, Baldwin remaining in the lead role of Harland Rust, and Mr Souza directing.
At the time, Matt Hutchins said he had no interest in attributing blame to Baldwin or the Rust producers for the fatal shooting, and called his wife's death “a terrible accident”.
In a 2021 television interview, Baldwin said Ms Hutchins directed him where to point the gun and to cock it. He said the revolver fired when he let go of the hammer and he did not pull the trigger.
“I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger, that was the training that I had,” Baldwin told ABC News.
An FBI forensic test of the reproduction Pietta long Colt .45 revolver found that it functioned “normally” and would not fire without the trigger being pulled.

Why the Tourist Club?
Originally, The Club (which many people chose to call the “British Club”) was the only place where one could use the beach with changing rooms and a shower, and get refreshments.
In the early 1970s, the Government of Abu Dhabi wanted to give more people a place to get together on the beach, with some facilities for children. The place chosen was where the annual boat race was held, which Sheikh Zayed always attended and which brought crowds of locals and expatriates to the stretch of beach to the left of Le Méridien and the Marina.
It started with a round two-storey building, erected in about two weeks by Orient Contracting for Sheikh Zayed to use at one these races. Soon many facilities were planned and built, and members were invited to join.
Why it was called “Nadi Al Siyahi” is beyond me. But it is likely that one wanted to convey the idea that this was open to all comers. Because there was no danger of encountering alcohol on the premises, unlike at The Club, it was a place in particular for the many Arab expatriate civil servants to join. Initially the fees were very low and membership was offered free to many people, too.
Eventually there was a skating rink, bowling and many other amusements.
