Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ movie to resume filming 18 months after shooting

A representative said filming likely to restart in Montana on Thursday while a number of legal issues remain unresolved

Filming on the western movie Rust could resume this week in Montana, the production company said, 18 months after the fatal shooting of a cinematographer during a rehearsal with actor Alec Baldwin on the original production in New Mexico.

Baldwin is set to continue his involvement with the project as both actor and co-producer. Rust Move Productions attorney Melina Spadone said via a representative that filming will restart on Thursday at the Yellowstone Film Ranch.
