Resurrected ‘Rust’ Movie Aims For April Start; Alec Baldwin Criminal Case Stumbles For D.A. As Minitrial Looms
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: No date has been set yet for Alec Baldwin’s criminal trial for the October 2021 fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but the resurrected movie is now looking at a late April production start in Montana.
In fact, Rust 2.0 is currently seeking actors to play a boy who is hearing impaired, Deadline has learned. The description of the supporting role, named Jacob Hollister, reads, “a smart, sweet little boy who knows nothing of the world other than what his older brother Lucas has created for him.
