Alec Baldwin 'Rust' opens in movie theaters on Friday May 2, 2025
RUST from FALLING FORWARD FILMS (2025). The Western is still surrounded by controversy over the accidental shooting death of Halyna Hutchins (Cinematographer). A prop-gun carried by lead actor Alec Baldwin had shot off a real bullet. It struck Hutchins and the film's director Joel Souza. He survived to finish the movie in which he also wrote the Screenplay. Hutchins died from the gun-shot wound back in October of 2021.
The movie was shut down in New Mexico after the shooting. It moved up to Montana to finish filming. The Hutchins family wanted the production to be completed because it was Halyna's last project as a cinematographer.
I wanted to see this in a movie theater. Unfortunately - The Western is not showing in New Mexico at all. So, I will rent it on Amazon Prime Video and review it on my YouTube channel.
RUST opens on Friday May 2, 2025 and below is the 2nd movie trailer.

Classic Movie Flashback 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' 1986 with Matthew Broderick
FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF distributed by PARAMOUNT pictures. (1986). It was written and directed by John Hughes. He paid tribute to the town of Chicago. Matthew Broderick portrays Ferris Bueller who is a high school senior and a known "slacker."
The story is very simple. Ferris takes one day off from high school and runs around Chicago with his girlfriend. He ends up on a parade float "lip syncing" to the song "Twist and Shout." The school faculty and his friends wonder why this guy skips school.
The movie trick in the film is when Ferris breaks the 4th wall. He speaks straight into the camera at the audience. Ferris does it with a "wink" and it is endearing.
The production budget climbed to $5 million and grossed $70 million at the box office. It opened to rave reviews from critics and has become a cult classic.
I didn't watch it in a movie theater. My brother rented it on VHS Home Video many times. So, I was forced to watch it. What was enjoyable is the supporting characters. They were so funny. Especially the high school faculty monitoring Ferris when he skips one day.
Check it out on Bluray. It looks great as it captures Chicago in 1986.
Below is the movie trailer "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" 1986.
