“The Show Must Go On”: the

Rust

team is going back to work.

Yes, it is very serious.

A year after the death of Halyna Hutchins, the director of photography, on the set of the western, the production announced that filming would resume.

It is next January that the cameras will turn again.

And Matthew Hutchins, the victim's husband, has announced that he will now serve as executive producer on the project.



“We all think Halyna's death was a terrible accident.

I'm grateful to the producers and the show's community for coming together to pay tribute to Halyna's final work,” he said, after indicating that all the ongoing proceedings against the production of the film would be abandoned.

In Memory of Halyna Hutchins

The cinematographer's widower clarified that "all the original main cast members" of the film will be back.

This obviously involves Alec Baldwin, who was holding the gun that fired the bullet that killed Halyna Hutchins.

In addition to playing the lead role, the actor is also one of the producers of the western.

Joel Souza, also injured by the shooting and who will resume his director's chair, wants to finish this feature film to pay tribute to his deceased colleague.

“Those of us who were lucky enough to spend time with Halyna know that she was extremely talented, kind, creative and an incredible source of positive energy.

I only regret that the world did not have the opportunity to know her in other circumstances, as it surely would have done thanks to her extraordinary work.

In my own attempts at healing, any decision to return to complete the making of the film only made sense to me if it was made with input from Matt and the Hutchins family.

While this is certainly bittersweet, I'm glad that together we can finish what Halyna and I started.

All of my efforts on this film will be dedicated to honoring Halyna's legacy and making her proud.

It is a privilege to carry out this project on his behalf,”
