sentenced to 18 months in prison, while the case against Baldwin was dismissed in July 2024.In the movie, set in 1880s Kansas, Baldwin plays an outlaw named Harlan Rust rescuing a young orphan (Patrick Scott McDermott) who’s been sentenced to hang for murder.“The only order that exists in this world is the order we impose,” a character, presumably Baldwin’s, says in the trailer that features violent shootouts in the Wild West. “If man loses sight of that, he’s got nothin’.”“Rust” had its world premiere in November at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland.A critic for Vulture wrote that the movie has eerie parallels to its deadly path. “‘Rust’ didn’t choose to echo its own tragedies, but they course through a film that is often compelling and capable, an appropriately unvarnished western tale about guilt, blame, family, law, and devotion,” they said.Hutchins’ mother declined to attend the premiere.“Alec Baldwin continues to increase my pain with his refusal to apologize to me and his refusal to take responsibility for her death,” the grieving parent said in a statement. “This is why I refuse to attend the festival for the promotion of ‘Rust,’ especially now when there is still no justice for my daughter.”Baldwin, meanwhile, has been appearing on the Discovery channel reality TV show “The Baldwins,” alongside his wife, Hilaria, and their seven children..
