Rust is an upcoming American Western film written and directed by Joel Souza. It stars Alec Baldwin, Travis Fimmel, Brady Noon, Frances Fisher, and Jensen Ackles. In October 2021, production was suspended indefinitely after a firearms shooting incident where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed by a gun used as a prop fired by Baldwin; director Souza was wounded by the same projectile.

Premise

In 1880s Kansas, Harland Rust is an outlaw from the Old West who rescues his thirteen-year-old grandson Lucas after he is sentenced to hang for an accidental murder. Now fugitives, the pair have to outrun U.S. Marshal Wood Helm and bounty hunter Fenton "Preacher" Lang.[3][4]

Development

In May 2020, it was announced that Alec Baldwin would produce and star in Rust, a Western based on a story he created with writer and director Joel Souza.[3] Baldwin told The Hollywood Reporter that he was elated to work with Souza after missing the opportunity to star in Crown Vic (2019). He compared the screenplay to the 1992 film Unforgiven, and said it was inspired by a true story. When asked about his gun slinging and horse riding skills, he said, "They're always at the ready. I'm an actor of the old school. So if you read my resume – my motorcycle riding, my French, juggling, my horseback riding, my gunplay – is all right at my fingertips at all times."[5]

Rust was produced on a $6–7 million budget and was described as a "passion project" for Baldwin. The film's distribution rights were sold for $2 million during the pre-production phase.[6][7] Travis Fimmel, Brady Noon, and Frances Fisher joined the cast in September 2021,[8] with Jensen Ackles being cast the following month.[9] As a result of the low budget, the production had limited resources and a tight filming schedule of 21 days.[6][10] Filming began on October 6 in Bonanza City, New Mexico.[11]
