Family, Alec Baldwin reached an agreement with Halyna Hutchins’ family, following her death on set from a prop gun.
Filming of Rust continues in January with Matthew Hutchins, Ms Hutchins’ widower, as executive producer.
All parties believed Ms Hutchins’s death was accidental, according to her husband.
A lawsuit was filed against Baldwin, producers, and others alleging violations of industry standards.
The terms of the settlement are subject to court approval.
Hutchins stated in a statement that all the original principal actors would participate in filming resumes. He said it would be a way to pay tribute to his wife’s final work.
He said, “I don’t have any interest in recriminations” or attributing blame.
“All of us believe Halyna died tragically.”
‘Painful situation’
Baldwin posted his response on Instagram: “We are happy to announce today that the family of cinematographer Halyna Houtchins has been granted settlement in civil court.
“Everyone has remained focused on Halyna’s best interests throughout this difficult time.
“We are grateful for everyone who contributed in any way to this sad and difficult situation being resolved.”
Joel Souza, Family Rust director, was also hurt in the shooting at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico. He stated in a Wednesday statement that he would now dedicate himself to “honoring Halyna’s legacy and making her proud”.
He said, “Though it is bittersweet, I am happy that we will now complete the work Halyna, me and others started.”
Baldwin was practising drawing a prop gun when the incident took place in October 2013.
Authorities strongly criticised the producers of the film and fined them for not following safety guidelines.
New Mexico Environment
According to the New Mexico Environment Department, Rust’s makers showed “plain indifference” to recognized hazards associated with firearms use on set.
Rust Movie Productions was fined $136,793 (PS105,000).
Later, the producers of the film disputed the official report and stated that the company had “enforced every applicable safety protocol” family.
Police released footage of the scene, including the aftermath of the fatal shooting Family.
Although investigators in New Mexico did not file any criminal charges nearly a year after the tragedy, it is believed that the investigation is still ongoing.
