The film 'Rust,' directed by Joel Souza, is completing its production and being released despite the tragic on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Initially thought to remain unfinished, Souza, who sustained injuries from the incident, reflects on the painful event and expresses regret about the film's creation. The project will see a limited U.S. release, and while Souza claims the Hutchins family supports the release, there are conflicting comments from her mother. The release comes amidst ongoing legal discussions related to the incident that occurred in 2021.
Souza's regret stems from a series of "bad decisions" that led to a prop gun-held by actor Alec Baldwin-discharging a live round on, October 19, 2021.
When speaking to the Guardian, he mused, "I wish I never wrote the damn movie." Souza's regret highlights the trauma not only of the film's production but also its tragic consequences.
Despite Souza's own misgivings, he completed the project. The Western film will see a limited U. S. release on roughly 150 screens beginning today.
Souza has been making the press rounds to explain this decision, which he says the Hutchins family supports, despite her mother making comments to the contrary.
