Rust film director Joel Souza is one of over 40 witnesses that may be called to testify at Alec Baldwin's preliminary hearing over the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
A list of 44 people, released by the Santa Fe District Attorney's Office, also included lighting director Serge Svetnoy and script supervisor Mamie Mitchell.
Baldwin is due to make his first appearance at the Santa Fe Magistrate Court on 24 February over the death of Hutchins, when he will face two counts of involuntary manslaughter alongside the film's armourer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
Director Souza was also injured during the incident on the set in New Mexico in October 2021, but no charges will be filed over his shooting.
The hearing to be presided over by Judge Mary Marlowe Summer is expected to see prosecutors lay out some of the case in an effort to move ahead to a trial.
Baldwin has denied responsibility for the shooting on the set in Santa Fe, saying he cocked the revolver but never pulled the trigger and it was the job of Gutierrez-Reed and other weapons professionals to ensure it was unloaded.
Other witnesses on the DA's list include several officers from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department and FBI forensics specialists, as well as members of the film's production crew. Armourer mentor Seth Kenney and prop master Sarah Zachry are among those listed.
In a statement of probable cause that was filed along with the charges against Baldwin, the DA alleged the actor had shown "wilful disregard" for the safety of others in the days leading up to the incident.
The statement alleged that he had not been present for "mandatory" firearms training - instead undergoing a 30-minute on-set session, during which he was allegedly distracted by a phone call to his family.
The statement alleged that on the day of the shooting, there were "no less than a dozen acts, or omissions of recklessness" on the set in the period prior to the incident.
Last November, a judge dismissed Baldwin's motion to have a separate civil suit brought by Mitchell dropped.
The suit alleged that Baldwin fired the weapon when the action was not called for in the Western's script.
