Alec Baldwin is going back to court.

Variety and People reported Friday that a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge has ruled a civil lawsuit filed by a “Rust” crew member can proceed to trial.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died in October 2021 after a gun Baldwin was holding fired.

“A reasonable jury could find that Mr. Baldwin recklessly disregarded the probability that pointing a gun in the direction of someone, with the finger on the trigger, would cause emotional distress,” the judge wrote in the filing, obtained by Variety.

Fox News Digital reached out to Baldwin’s representatives for comment.

While the “30 Rock” actor originally faced criminal charges, a Santa Fe judge dismissed Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter charge with prejudice in July 2024.

Serge Svetnoy initially sued Baldwin back in 2021, less than a month after Hutchins’ death.

“Simply put, there was no reason for a live bullet to be placed in that .45 Colt revolver or to be present anywhere on the Rust set, and the presence of a bullet in a revolver posed a lethal threat to everyone in its vicinity,” his lawsuit read at the time.

Alec Baldwin will head back to court after a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge ruled that a civil lawsuit filed by “Rust” crew member Serge Svetnoy can proceed to trial.

Svetnoy was standing behind the monitor and about six to seven feet away as Baldwin rehearsed the scene the crew was about to film. Baldwin had been practicing a cross-draw maneuver when the gun fired.

Svetnoy, the film’s gaffer, spent the next 20 to 30 minutes rendering aid to Hutchins after realizing the cinematographer had been shot.

It wasn’t until after the paramedics took over that Svetnoy understood the gravity of the situation.

“He realized that he had been squarely in the zone of danger posed by the loaded weapon in Defendant Baldwin’s hand, and what he felt pass by him from the discharge of the Colt Revolver was not mere pressurized air,” the civil lawsuit read.

“But for an inch or two, possibly less, that bullet could have ended his life.”

According to Svetnoy’s lawsuit, Baldwin was not supposed to be firing a gun in the scene they filmed on that fateful October day.

“The scene did not call for Defendant Baldwin to shoot the Colt Revolver, which should not have contained any live ammunition,” the lawsuit said.
