Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Premieres Amid Controversy and Lawsuits
After three years, Alec Baldwin's western 'Rust' premiered in Poland, but without the star himself.
The premiere was dedicated to cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who died in a tragic accident on set in 2021.
Hutchins's mother boycotted the premiere, criticizing Baldwin for allegedly refusing to apologize and profiting from the tragedy.
Baldwin still faces a civil lawsuit from Hutchins's family.
'Rust' director Joel Souza, who was also injured in the accident, introduced the film and explained why he changed his mind about completing the project.
Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed in July after the prosecution was accused of concealing evidence.*
