'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed released from prison on parole
'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed released from prison on parole Show Caption Hide Caption 'Rust' movie trailer: See Alec Baldwin as a Western outlaw Alec Baldwin's Western drama "Rust" is out May 2. Movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, has been released on parole. Gutierrez-Reed, sentenced to 18 months in prison in April 2024, was approved for release by New Mexico's Parole Board on May 23, according to a copy of the parole certificate obtained by USA TODAY. Per the certificate, the former armorer's parole is set to expire on May 23, 2026, provided that it's not extended by an "act of delinquency or revocation." Gutierrez-Reed was instructed to report to Bullhead City, Arizona, immediately following her release to meet with her parole officer. Gutierrez-Reed, who worked on the Western film co-written by and starring Alec Baldwin, was found guilty in March 2024 for her involvement in the October 2021 death of Hutchins, who was fatally shot when Baldwin's gun discharged during rehearsals. Hutchins was 42. The jury determined that Gutierrez-Reed had erroneously loaded a live round into a revolver that Baldwin was using on the set in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Jurors found Gutierrez-Reed not guilty on a second charge of tampering with evidence, stemming from allegations that she handed a small bag of possible narcotics to another crew member after the shooting to avoid detection. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed sentenced: The 'Rust' armorer receives 18 months in prison At her sentencing hearing, Gutierrez-Reed made a statement before the court, saying her "heart aches" for Hutchins' family, friends and the film industry at large. The armorer requested the judge sentence her to probation. "I am saddened by the way the media sensationalized our traumatic tragedy and portrayed me as a complete monster, which has actually been the total opposite of what's in my heart," she said. "Rust" was released in theaters on May 2 after premiering at the Polish film festival Camerimage last fall. Filmed on a budget of $8 million, the film earned just $26,831 at the box office worldwide.

First trailer released for 'Rust', the Alec Baldwin western with a tragic production
ADVERTISEMENT Silhouetted figures stalk across the stark expanse. Gruff voices exchange unpleasantries. Pistols are raised in anger. So far, a typical Hollywood trailer for an upcoming western film. Rust however has been an extraordinary production. The first official trailer has now been released for the film in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed. Lead actor Alec Baldwin was rehearsing with a revolver when the gun went off fatally shooting Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza in October 2021. Baldwin's case case has since been dismissed while armorer Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for bringing live ammunition onto set and is serving an 18-month sentence. Rust completed filming in 2023 and post-production last year. The film then premiered in November at the Camerimage festival in Torun, Poland. Rust trailer released Its premiere was well-attended, with people fascinated more by the film's backstory than actual plot. Camerimage was a fitting venue as it's a film festival focused on cinematographers, and the film is dedicated to Hutchins. Now, it is set for general release, hitting US screens on 2 May. It's been a long run to get to this stage for Rust . By all accounts, the producers most probably never expected for the film to see the light of day after Hutchins' death. The $8 million (€7.4 million) film was a passion project for Baldwin and Souza , who together developed the story of an ageing outlaw (Baldwin) coming out of hiding in 1880s Kansas to save his 13-year-old grandson from a death sentence due to an accidental murder. Prior to the accident, at worst, the film would have likely been a little-watched entry at some lesser-known film festivals before disappearing without a proper distributor. Best case scenario, it could've proved briefly popular with a week-long push on a streaming platform. With US distribution now secured, are studios expecting a surprise hit through capitalising on morbidly interested viewers?

Even if it's not a classic of cinema, it still represents the last work of Hutchins, a cinematographer who dedicated her career to the art form. Her cinematic legacy is in some of the shots of Rust and letting people see her talent is a fair goal. Earlier this month, Hulu released Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna , a documentary on Hutchins' death. It was directed by her close friend Rachel Mason. Although Baldwin declined to participate, it features Hutchins' footage and Mason also filmed the resumed Rust production and interviewed Souza. Although Souza eventually criticised the film for featuring the criminal investigation more than Hutchins' life, many found it a fitting tribute to the dramatic incident that brought Rust to public attention. As Hutchins' final work hits screens, it finally gets the chance to interact with audiences. Although, it may be a hard ask for viewers to separate it from its tragic production.
