The first official trailer for the movie "Rust," starring Alec Baldwin, has been released. The film, set to premiere in theaters on May 2, 2025, marks a significant moment as it follows a tragic incident during its production. On October 22, 2021, a prop gun used by Baldwin accidentally discharged, fatally wounding cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

You can watch the trailer here. The official synopsis of "Rust" is as follows:

"In 1880s Kansas, recently orphaned Lucas McCalister (Patrick Scott McDermott) accidentally kills a rancher and is sentenced to hang," the synopsis reads. "In a twist of fate, his estranged grandfather, the notorious outlaw Harland Rust (Academy Award nominee Alec Baldwin), breaks him out of jail and takes him on the run toward Mexico.

"As they flee across the unforgiving wilderness, the fugitive pair must outrun the determined U.S. Marshal Wood Helm (Josh Hopkins) and a ruthless bounty hunter named 'Preacher' (Travis Fimmel)."

The incident that led to Hutchins' death involved a prop gun that was mistakenly loaded with live rounds, despite being declared a "cold gun." Following the tragedy, charges against Baldwin were dropped in April 2023. However, Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, responsible for preparing the gun, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison. First assistant director David Halls, tasked with ensuring the gun was empty, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon and received six months of probation.

"Rust" made its debut at Poland's Camerimage Festival in November 2024, where it paid tribute to Hutchins during the credits. Although Baldwin did not attend, Souza was present and spoke about Hutchins, saying, "We are here in a place that she loved so much, probably second only to being on set. I want to thank you all for coming and for taking a few hours out of your day to come celebrate my friend and to celebrate her art and her talent. She really was something."
