Alec Baldwin’s Rust world premiere tickets selling out 3 years after Halyna Hutchins was killed in shooting
As a seasoned investigator with years of experience under my belt, I find myself deeply troubled by the recent developments surrounding the tragic incident on the set of “Rust.” It’s disheartening to see such a senseless loss of life and the ensuing legal battles that follow.
The tickets for Alec Baldwin’s first film, Rust, are causing a buzz online – this, three years following the tragic on-set shooting that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Filming for the Western movie halted in October 2021 following an accident where a prop gun held by Baldwin, aged 66, unexpectedly went off, leading to the death of Halyna, who was 42, and injuring director Joel Souza. However, the production eventually completed filming by May 2023.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share that my recommended film, Rust, will make its debut at the prestigious EnergaCAMERIMAGE Film Festival in Toruń, Poland, this coming Wednesday, November 20. The anticipation for this screening has been so high that the private booking website experienced a surge in demand, leading to temporary downtime as tickets sold out swiftly on Tuesday morning.
Around 8 am Polish time, a notice popped up on the booking site saying, “The Camerimage platform is temporarily being serviced.
By around 8.35am THR reports some users were able to finally get on and get their tickets.
In addition to unveiling the first-ever showing, the festival coordinators plan to host a lively panel talk following the screening, inviting Souza, the cinematographer Bianca Cline who took over the project, and Halyna’s mentor Stephen Lighthill for a discussion.
It’s believed that Baldwin wasn’t included in the event because there were concerns that his attendance might outshine the premiere.
In this conversation, they’ll delve into topics such as the movie-related happenings since Halyna’s passing, the ongoing production with Bianca taking over, and discuss the part women play in cinematography, along with focusing on set safety issues.
As a lifestyle expert, I must express my deepest condolences over the unfortunate demise of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust. It is indeed regrettable that the organizers faced criticism for choosing to debut the film under such grim circumstances. The premiere should have been postponed out of respect for her memory and the grieving family, but I believe it’s essential to continue supporting Halyna’s work while ensuring a thorough investigation into this tragic accident.
Prior to the Camerimage festival, its director Kazimierz Suwała shared with THR that Halyna Hutchins held a special bond with this event, having attended multiple times. Her friends reached out to express that before filming on Rust started, she expressed her strong desire to showcase this movie at Camerimage if selected.
‘So the screening is only about that: fulfilling her wish of showing her film at the festival.’
As a devoted admirer of the craft, I found myself advocating, right from the start of the project, for our work to be showcased at Camerimage – a prestigious event that celebrates the achievements of global cinematographers, as reported by Deadline. This was Halyna’s ambition, born in Ukraine.
At the festival, we paid tribute to Halyna by observing a moment of quiet reflection and holding a discussion about set safety involving cinematographers. (Marek Zydowicz’s statement paraphrased)
Now, once more, let’s cherish the moment alongside cinematographers and movie lovers as we recall her.
The dismissal of Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial, due to evidence mismanagement as decided by a judge in August, means he will be attending the premiere.
In a series of statements, the actor from The Boss Baby maintains that he neither fired the gun nor was aware of its containing live bullets.
According to a source, ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ reported that despite being the main actor and producer of the premiere, Baldwin won’t be attending the event.
In April, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the movie’s ammunition technician, received a sentence of 18 months in prison following her conviction on charges linked to the unfortunate event.
After restarting production, the film “Rust” wrapped up shooting in May 2023. In an Instagram post celebrating the wrap-up, it expressed: “It was a tough and lengthy journey, but we’ve reached our destination today.
Recently, a court decision was confirmed that maintained the guilty verdict for involuntary manslaughter against Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film’s ammunition handler, due to the unfortunate incident where Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on set.
Gutierrez-Reed petitioned the New Mexico court either to overturn her verdict or schedule a fresh trial, claiming that the prosecution withheld crucial evidence which may have exonerated her regarding the Rust film set shooting incident.
In her written ruling, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer stated that the defense for Gutierrez-Reed failed to demonstrate convincingly that the trial’s result might have changed if additional evidence was accessible during the court proceedings.
The judge additionally declined Gutierrez-Reed’s plea for release from detention, explaining that the proposal for a retrial being turned down rendered it unnecessary.
In July, Judge Marlow Sommer brought a halt to the trial of Baldwin due to misbehavior by the police and prosecutors, who had failed to disclose crucial evidence to the defense during the 2021 shooting of Hutchins.
In a film set just outside Santa Fe, Alec Baldwin, the main actor and co-producer of Rust, was handling a gun during a practice session when it discharged accidentally, fatally injuring Hutchins and injuring Souza.
In March, a jury found Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter after a trial presided over by Marlowe Sommer. Later, Sommer handed down the maximum sentence of 18 months to Gutierrez-Reed.
Gutierrez-Reed is making an application for the overturning of her current conviction, as it stands before a higher court. The jury found her not guilty of charges that she manipulated evidence during the Rust investigation.
In simpler terms, it was alleged that Mr. Gutierrez-Reed unintentionally brought live bullets to the film set of ‘Rust’, and he also neglected essential firearm safety guidelines.
As a devoted follower, I’d like to shed light on some pieces of evidence my legal team claimed were withheld by the prosecutors. Among these are:
Gutierrez-Reed is currently serving her sentence at the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility.
Baldwin, meanwhile, saw his involuntary manslaughter case dismissed in July.
In Santa Fe, New Mexico, the judge expressed during the trial that the prosecution had made mistakes in managing the evidence, which she believed affected the basic justice of the case.
The verdict was reached following an extended session without the jury, due to the absence of bullets that were supposed to be presented as evidence. Baldwin’s legal team argued that these bullets had been hidden or overlooked by them and mistakenly placed in a different case folder.
The trial for Baldwin, who claimed innocence on two charges of involuntary manslaughter, was significantly disrupted due to the complexity of the case involving allegations of carelessness against him.
