Photography Director Halyna Hutchins died hit by a bullet that was not exchanged for artificial ammunition; Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, responsible for manipulating weapons, took 18 months in prison
The feature film, which became known after the tragic death of the director of photography Halyna Hutchins in an incident with one on the set, debuted Friday (2) in the United States. Hutchins lost his life on October 21, 2021, when a revolver used in filming, fired by the actor, contained real bullets. Director Joel Souza was also hit, suffering injuries to his shoulder.
In an offshoot of the case in 2024, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the manipulation of weapons in the set, was considered guilty of the death of Hutchins and received a penalty of 18 months in prison. Baldwin’s trial, in turn, was annulled, which generated controversy and discussions on security in film productions.
Rust filming resumed in May 2023 after a long period of interruption. The film had its first exhibition at a festival in Poland, where it received significant attention due to its tragic history and troubled production. The expectation around the launch is high, considering the events that surrounded the production.
The rust’s plot takes place in a western scenario and tells the journey of a 13 -year -old boy and his younger brother, who flee with his grandfather. He was sentenced to the gallows after being accused of accidentally murdering a farmer in the region. The narrative promises to explore survival themes and the complexity of family relationships in times of crisis.
