After being delayed indefinitely because of legal charges against Alec Baldwin and an on-set armorer after the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins , the film Rust has been given a premiere date. While some still think Baldwin, who had charges against him in the case dismissed this summer, is “partly to blame ,” the actor, who is planning to sue prosecutors , is ready to move on. A part of that is getting the film a premiere date, which has now been decided.
