Producer-star Alec Baldwin has completed filming his role on the Western drama "Rust," which had resumed production on April 20 after shutting down in October 2021 when a prop gun's accidental live round killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded writer-director Joel Souza. Principal photography on the movie will continue through May 22.
On Monday, the Amityville-born and Massapequa-raised Baldwin, 65, posted an Instagram photo of himself and Patrick Scott McDermott, who plays the grandson of Baldwin’s grizzled outlaw Harland Rust, at the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Park County, Montana. “Last day on the set of RUST with this guy,” he wrote. "A very talented actor and lovely young man with a bright future ahead. My love to you, @patrickscottmcdermott.” Baldwin followed up on May 16 with a clean-shaven selfie and wrote, “God, it felt good to shave off that beard … .”
Criminal charges were dropped against Baldwin, who was holding the prop gun when it discharged in 2021, but lawsuits remain. Baldwin and Hutchins’ estate settled a wrongful-death lawsuit in October.
