The film “Rust” will make its world premiere next month, three years after the on-set shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and blanketed the production in scandal and legal troubles.
“Rust,” a Western drama starring and produced by Alec Baldwin, will make its world premiere at the Camerimage Festival, which takes place Nov. 16 to 23 in Toruń, Poland.
The film was thrust into the national spotlight when Baldwin was rehearsing a scene on the New Mexico set and a prop revolver he was holding went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
Production was halted as Baldwin and the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, became the subjects of legal action.
“Almost three years after the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins, a Ukrainian cinematographer who was part of the festival family, Camerimage is set to honour her memory and remind the world of her legacy,” the festival said in a news release.
