‘‘Yet Plaintiffs – who had been distanced from Halyna physically, financially, and emotionally for years before her death – have no viable cause of action against Defendants. This action is especially misguided’’.
Reports say the family of the late cinematographer submitted the lawsuit in February after she was killed on set of the film Rust during filming near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
