First 'Rust' Trailer Released, Four Years After Fatal On-Set Shooting

The first trailer for the film 'Rust' has been released nearly four years after the tragic on-set shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The film, starring Alec Baldwin as outlaw Harland Rust, follows the story of a boy sentenced to hang for accidentally killing a rancher, who escapes with his grandfather. Baldwin, who was holding the gun that discharged a live round, faced legal scrutiny but was ultimately acquitted of involuntary manslaughter. The production faced significant hurdles, with director Joel Souza stating the film had to be entirely reimagined following Hutchins' death. The film will honor Hutchins, as her widower joined as an executive producer after a settlement. While some anticipate the release as a tribute to Hutchins, others remain critical of the production's continuation.
