Attorneys for Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' said the incentive would have been used to pay a settlement to cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' family.
Producers of the western movie 'Rust' may have to forgo a robust economic incentive as they try to sell the film to distributors and fulfill financial obligations to the immediate family of a cinematographer who was fatally shot by Alec Baldwin during rehearsal in 2021. New Mexico tax authorities denied an application this spring by Rust Movie Productions for incentives worth as much as $1.6 million, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Among the beneficiaries of the rebate program are the 2011 movie 'Cowboys and Aliens' and the TV series 'Better Call Saul,' a spinoff of 'Breaking Bad.' As for current productions, New Mexico is the backdrop for a new film starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera about the rescue of students in a 2018 wildfire in the town of Paradise — the most destructive in California's history.
