A detective interviewed the assistant director, who said he could only remember seeing 3 rounds, he advised he should have checked all of them but didn’t and couldn’t recall if the armorer had spun the drum.

The local sheriff who is leading the investigation into the fatal shooting of Halayna Hutchins on the movie set of Rust confirmed actor Alec Baldwin was handed a loaded gun.

Authorities have now uncovered over 600 new pieces of evidence related to the incident… including three firearms and 500 rounds of ammunition.

There have been no arrests made at this stage, but the sheriff says the investigation is still very much in its early stages.

Over the course of the next few days and weeks, it’s expected that many more interviews will be conducted.

Meanwhile, authorities have also confirmed that Alec Baldwin has been questioned on numerous occasions and is cooperating.

There were one thousand people on set when the shooting occurred and each individual will be questioned over the course of the investigation.

Meanwhile, during the press conference, the Sheriff said “the facts are clear – a weapon was handed to Mr Baldwin, the weapon is functional and fired a live round killing Ms Hutchins and injuring Mr Souza.”

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
