Alec Baldwin is on the run in “Rust” trailer, first footage of Western since on-set shooting of Halyna Hutchins


The first footage of Alec Baldwin‘s tragedy-plagued Western Rust has arrived, four years after an accidental on-set shooting claimed the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The 1880s-set film stars Baldwin as notorious outlaw Harland Rust, who breaks his 13-year-old grandson (Patrick Scott McDermott) out of jail after he accidentally kills a rancher and is sentenced to death. Together, they flee the country on the run towards Mexico — but before reaching that safe haven, they must defend themselves against an unforgiving wilderness and the relentless pursuit of U.S. Marshal Wood Helm (Josh Hopkins) and a ruthless bounty hunter named Preacher (Travis Fimmel).

The film also stars Frances Fisher, Devon Werkheiser, Rhys Coiro, Xander Berkeley, Jake Busey, Abraham Benrubi, Travis Hammer, Nick Farnell, Sam Carson, Richard Gunn, and Easton Malcolm.

The trailer sets a moody tone for the long-delayed frontier flick, putting particular emphasis on the landscapes.

Halyna Hutchins died in an accidental shooting after Baldwin’s prop gun discharged a live round at the Bonanza Creek Ranch during production. Director Joel Souza was also injured in the incident, but recovered. After the shooting, filming on the movie was shut down for more than a year but resumed in April 2023 in Montana rather than New Mexico.

In the wake of Hutchins’ death, more than a half dozen individuals, including production crew, filed lawsuits against Baldwin and production, citing negligence on set and sparking industry-wide conversations about the use of weapons on Hollywood sets.

Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in a case surrounding the incident and sentenced to 18 months in prison. Later, the involuntary manslaughter case against Baldwin was abruptly dismissed in July amid allegations that prosecutors withheld evidence. The actor pleaded not guilty and, throughout the legal battle, has maintained that he “didn’t pull the trigger.” 

Hutchins’ widower Matthew Hutchins is an executive producer on the film, a title that came after he and his late wife’s family reached a settlement with Baldwin and other producers in their wrongful death lawsuit

Rust first premiered at Poland’s Camerimage Festival in November, with director Souza and Bianca Cline, who took over cinematography duties following Hutchins’ death, in attendance. 

Rust arrives in theaters and on VOD on May 2. Watch the full trailer for the film above.
