First Trailer for 'Rust' Released After Tragedy

The first trailer for Alec Baldwin's movie 'Rust' has been released, marking a significant moment following the tragic on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021. The film, set in 1880s Kansas, follows the story of a young orphan, Lucas McCalister, played by Patrick Scott McDermott, who accidentally kills a rancher and is saved from execution by his estranged grandfather, portrayed by Baldwin. Baldwin's character, Harland Rust, then takes his grandson on the run towards Mexico, pursued by a U.S. Marshal and a bounty hunter. The film faced significant delays due to the incident and subsequent legal battles, with Baldwin's manslaughter charges being dismissed and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed serving an 18-month sentence. 'Rust' premiered at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland and will be released in theaters and digitally on May 2. The tragedy on set has cast a shadow on the film, but it also serves as a tribute to Hutchins' talent and legacy.
