Rust to resume filming with Alec Baldwin and new cinematographer

Original cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed when a live round was discharged on set of western in New Mexico

The producers of Rust have hired a new cinematographer and plan to resume filming this spring despite the looming criminal prosecution of star and producer Alec Baldwin, who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter for the on-set killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Rust Movie Productions will also produce a documentary about the life and work of Hutchins that will “show the brilliance and depth of Halyna’s talent while conveying what her loss has meant to her friends, colleagues and the entire film industry”, the company said in a statement to the movie industry publication.
