Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ Quietly Opens In Theaters Tomorrow—Years After Fatal Shooting On Set
- Alec Baldwin's Western film Rust quietly opens in limited theaters on May 9, 2025, years after the fatal 2021 on-set shooting in New Mexico.
- The film's delayed release follows the accidental discharge of a prop gun on October 21, 2021, that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.
- Production resumed about 18 months later in Montana with a new director of photography, Bianca Cline, and Hutchins' husband Matthew as executive producer to honor her final work.
- Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter but cleared in July 2024 after a judge dismissed charges citing prosecutorial misconduct, while armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted and serving prison time.
- The film’s profits will go to Hutchins' family, reflecting a cautious rollout amid controversy and mixed critical reception highlighting Hutchins' cinematography as a tribute.
