A producer who worked on the movie Rust, which was filming when a gun in actor Alec Baldwin's hand fired and killed a cinematographer, said he still believes the movie can be completed.

Anjul Nigam told The Hollywood Reporter that he is confident that the movie will be completed once the Santa Fe Sheriff's Department concludes its investigation.
Nigam, who is working with Baldwin again for a new project called False Awakening, said he is confident about continuing to make quality movies.
After the October shooting, production on Rust was shut down indefinitely. The Santa Fe County sheriff said last month that several components of the investigation still need to be completed before the case could be turned over to the district attorney. Baldwin and Nigam were sued for wrongful death by Matthew, who was Matthew's widower. The Occupational Health and Safety Bureau of the New Mexico Environment Department fined Rust Movie productions a maximum fee of $136,793 for safety violations on set. The agency was not qualified to evaluate a film set according to the production company. Baldwin said that the report vindicated him by showing he believed the weapon was safe to use and that his role as a producer on the film was limited to creative decisions.
The investigation is still ongoing six months after the shooting.
