A series of new videos show Alec Baldwin telling an unknown person, “I don’t want to shoot you” during the filming of Rust, just days before Halyna Hutchins was shot dead on set.

In the never-before-seen footage from 2021, Baldwin can be seen discussing safety with cast and crew, firing weapons and acting in character.

In two of the five videos obtained exclusively by NBCBaldwin can be heard redeploying crew members after becoming concerned for their safety.

Baldwin was filming a scene in a church days later when he pulled the trigger of his Colt .45 on October 21, 2021, fatally shooting cameraman Hutchins.

The new videos, which last seven minutes, were turned over by producers to prosecutors who want to charge Baldwin again.

Special prosecutors in New Mexico were scheduled to meet Thursday to reconsider the involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin.

But the judge rescheduled Wednesday during a teleconference hearing, a source familiar with the matter told NBC.

In the first video, Baldwin is seen lying on the ground with a propeller gun and is heard saying “Halyna go away” before his voice fades away.

He then asks someone off camera to come on the “other side of the camera” because “I don’t want to shoot you.”

In the second video, Baldwin asks for a blanket to be placed next to him off-camera where he can throw the gun aside and use it as a landing pad.

The third video shows Baldwin in character repeatedly firing a prop gun before running out of dummy rounds.

‘One more, one more, one more. Let’s reload right away,” he says, trying to get the scene moving.

The clip ends with Baldwin saying, “We should have had two guns and they both had to be reloaded.”

In the fourth and fifth videos, Baldwin stops filming to check the safety of a crew member who is walking backwards to film the scene.

In one, he may express concern about the steepness of a trail and ask the crew member to use a safer part of the trail.

In the other, a cameraman falls and Baldwin is heard repeatedly asking, “Are you okay?” before filming resumes.

The videos are among dozens that special prosecutors requested from Rust Movie Productions LLC and did not receive until October, a source told the newspaper.

Prosecutors announced their intention on October 17 to again charge the 30-something rock star with involuntary manslaughter.

It remains unclear how much footage prosecutors reviewed and whether they reviewed any of the five videos.

The five videos could be presented to the grand jury.

The involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin was dismissed in April, but a grand jury in New Mexico is expected to decide soon whether the charges should be refiled, CNN reports.

Part of the Santa Fe County police investigation focuses on how live ammunition ended up on the film set.

Baldwin’s attorneys and special prosecutors did not comment to NBC. Daily Mail.com has reached out for comment.

The actor denied pulling the trigger on the gun and his lawyers have previously said they will take the case to court.

“It is unfortunate that a terrible tragedy has turned into this misguided prosecution,” Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, said in a statement to NBC in October.

“We will answer any charges in court.”
