First Trailer for 'Rust' Released Ahead of May 2025 Theatrical Debut

The film, tied to the tragic 2021 on-set death of Halyna Hutchins, has reignited discussions on safety and legacy in the film industry.

The first trailer for the Western film 'Rust' has been unveiled, with a theatrical release scheduled for May 2, 2025, in the U.S. and Germany.
Halyna Hutchins, the film's original cinematographer, was fatally shot on set in 2021, a tragedy that halted production for nearly two years.
Director Joel Souza resumed production in 2023, influenced by Hutchins' husband, who wanted her final work to reach audiences.
Alec Baldwin, who held the firearm involved in the shooting, had involuntary manslaughter charges dismissed in 2024, while armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Public reactions remain divided, with some supporting the film as a tribute to Hutchins and others questioning the ethics of its release.
