The film “Rust,” starring Alec Baldwin, was involved in a sad accident where Baldwin unintentionally discharged a firearm, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

Furthermore, he mentioned that Hutchin’s legacy served as inspiration for those working on the project to bring it to completion.
