New Mexico Denies 'Rust' Movie Tax Incentive

Producers of the movie 'Rust' face challenges as New Mexico tax authorities denied their $1.6 million incentive, impacting a legal settlement with the cinematographer's family after Alec Baldwin's fatal shooting incident. Baldwin, facing an involuntary manslaughter trial, was involved in the shooting on set. The denial disrupted financial arrangements crucial for the settlement. The situation involves late settlement payments and potential legal actions. These events have financial implications for New Mexico taxpayers and the production's completion to honor the cinematographer's vision.
