Three and a half years after the fatal shooting in the “oxide” set in New Mexico, the western film of Alec Baldwin is finally being thrown.
Baldwin accidentally filmed the 42 -year -old photography director, Halyna Hutchins, during the production of the film on October 21, 2021. He died that day, a tragedy that caused investigations, numerous demands and two criminal trials.
The spectators can transmit “oxide” for a rate of $ 14.99 through Apple, Amazon and other video platforms on request that begin on Thursday night. The film will reproduce on large screens in the theaters of La Emmle in Encino and Santa Monica starting Friday.
The producers tried to enter “Rust” in prestigious industry film festivals, but were formed with a premiere in Poland. The largest films chain in the country, AMC and the Netflix transmission giant, do not show the film, produced by Baldwin, Anjul Nigam and Ryan Donnell Smith, among others.
The film was directed by Joel Souza, who was injured in the shooting. He was standing from Hutchins when Baldwin's weapon shot during a scene. The bullet stayed on Souza's shoulder.
Baldwin, who was authorized in July of an involuntary involuntary position presented by New Mexico's prosecutors, plays an outlaw of Harland Rust. The character survives a gunshot wound while trying to help his 13 -year -old Lucas, played by Patrick Scott Mcdermott, flees to Mexico after the child accidentally killed a rancher. The film is set in the 1880s.
After Hutchins' death near Santa Fe, NM, the film closed the production.
Santa Fe County Sheriff agents and Occupational Security Agents in New Mexico took over the Bonanza Creek Rancho, the original location of the film, to investigate the shooting. Sheriff's investigation covered more than a year, and three people were finally criminally accused: Baldwin, Hannah Gutiérrez armor and the assistant director David Halls, who was in charge of the security in the set.
Three days after Baldwin's high profile trial in July, the state judge dismissed all charges after finding misconduct by a special prosecutor and detectives. The group was accused of hiding potential evidence of Baldwin's defense team.
Earlier this year, Baldwin filed a civil demand for malicious prosecution against New Mexico.

In March 2024, the first armory of the film, Hannah Gutiérrez, was convicted of involuntary homicide. She has turned almost 14 months in prison, and is expected to be released at the end of this month, according to her lawyer Jason Bowles.
Halls did not oppose a single negligent use of a mortal weapon. He testified during Gutierrez's trial on persistent trauma and said that since then he has left the film industry.
The filmmakers have said they wanted to finish the film as a tribute to Hutchins and his art.
Insurance agreements also required that the film be distributed, according to people close to production. Income will help finance the agreement of a lawsuit for unfair death filed by Hutchins' husband, Matthew, who became an executive producer of the film and his son.
Hutchins' family in Ukraine has submitted a demand for unfair death.
Photography director Bianca Cline assumed the position of director of photography when production resumed in Montana about 18 months after Hutchins' death.
There were also important cast changes. Actors Jense Ackles and Swen Temmel were not part of the finished production.
Baldwin's co -star includes Josh Hopkins, Travis Fimmel and Frances Fisher.
The initial environment of the film was the rural area of Kansas, before the characters made their way through the southwest desert of High. But with its strong mountain background, the movie now begins in Frontier Wyoming.
The set of New Mexico's film was worried before the accident.
The members of the camera crew renounce the night before shooting after alerting line producers about security concerns, including accidental weapons discharges and the lack of nearby housing. The members of the House crew previously said to the Times that assumed that the producers would stop production for the day to address their concerns.
Instead, producers advanced with limited camera personnel. The crew was staying that day, and there was no media people where Souza and Hutchins would normally have directed scenes watching monitors.
Hutchins wanted to get a Baldwin camera angle, sitting in a bank inside a dusty wood church, for a dramatic moment in the film. Slowly he took out his support weapon from his cover and pointed it to the Chamber.
“You think about the chain of events that began that morning. A bad decision after a bad decision was made,” Souza told the Guardian newspaper in a recent interview. “… I wish I would never have written the damn movie.”
Falling Forward Films has managed theatrical distribution, while Ascending Media Group is responsible for video executions on request. The movie works 2 hours, 13 minutes.
Hutchins' friends also made a documentary, “Last Take: Rust and The Story of Hoyna”, which becomes Hulu.
Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, currently star in a TLC program about their agitated lives with their seven children.
