The RUST western movie has plans to end shooting in the final days of May 2023. The production moved from the state of New Mexico to Montana after the on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The producer and star of the western is Alec Baldwin who held the gun that went off killing Halyna back in 2021. That gun was loaded with real bullets.
Here is what we know so far.
