The news comes a year and a half after the fatal shooting of the film's cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin has already to one count of involuntary manslaughter for his role in the fatal shooting.
In a statement to ET, the star's attorney, Luke Nikas of Quinn Emanuel, said, "This decision distorts Halyna Hutchins' tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun -- or anywhere on the movie set. He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We will fight these charges, and we will win.
