Wiki.
Rust is an upcoming American Western film written and directed by Joel Souza. The film stars Alec Baldwin (who also produces, and co-wrote the story with Souza), Patrick Scott McDermott, Travis Fimmel, Frances Fisher, and Josh Hopkins.
In October 2021, production was temporarily suspended after a controversial and highly publicized firearms shooting incident, in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed when a gun being used as a prop was fired by Baldwin during the preparation for a scene; Souza was injured by the same projectile.
Filming was set to resume in January 2023, more than a year after the incident and ongoing lawsuits, but Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter that month, putting his further involvement with the project into question. The charges were dropped against Baldwin on April 20, 2023, and filming resumed that same day, concluding the next month.
