The first trailer for 'Rust' has been released, marking a significant development in the long and troubled journey of the Western film. The movie, starring Alec Baldwin, was the center of a major controversy in October 2021 when cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was tragically killed by a prop gun fired by Baldwin on set.
The incident led to investigations, lawsuits, and significant delays in production. Baldwin and the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, faced charges related to involuntary manslaughter. While charges against Baldwin were later dropped, Gutierrez-Reed was convicted in March 2024.
Production on 'Rust' eventually resumed in Montana after settlements were reached with Hutchins' family. Her husband, Matthew Hutchins, served as an executive producer on the film. The trailer offers a glimpse into the movie's storyline and characters. 'Rust' is scheduled to be released in theaters on May. The release comes after years of legal battles and emotional strain for all involved.
