Alec Baldwin's movie "Rust," which was plagued by controversy in 2021 following the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, will be released in May.
The trailer for the Western drama dropped Wednesday, showing Baldwin as a notorious outlaw who helps his grandson escape from jail after he's sentenced to death for murder. The film, directed by Joel Souza, will be released in selected theaters nationwide and on video-on-demand on May 2.
A news release says the movie's original producers will not profit financially from it. Hutchins' husband, Matthew Hutchins, and their son, Andros, will receive movie profits as part of the terms of his wrongful death settlement.
The movie is being released four years after Hutchins was fatally shot on set. Baldwin was rehearsing a scene on Oct. 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, when the prop gun he was holding fired a live round of ammunition. Hutchins was killed, and Souza was wounded.
Baldwin said in a 2021 interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that he did not pull the trigger and that he was told the gun was empty.
