LOS ANGELES — After cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot during an October 2021 rehearsal on the New Mexico set of the film “Rust,” production immediately halted.
But in the months since, the producers of “Rust” have stuck by the embattled Western film, and had hoped to resume filming, potentially in Southern California, as soon as the beginning of this year.
Matthew Hutchins, the widower of Halyna Hutchins, joined the production in October as an executive producer, as part of a wrongful death lawsuit settlement with Alec Baldwin and the other producers. Hutchins said finishing the film would be a “tribute to Halyna’s final work.”
