Alec Baldwin shows up in NYC with Hilaria as the promo trail for Rust begins…with first-look images of the late Halyna Hutchins

Alec Baldwin, 65, showed up in New York on Tuesday with his wife Hilaria, 39, as the promotional campaign for his polarizing Western Rust began.

The production was struck by tragedy in 2021 when cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot during a rehearsal using a Colt .45 as a prop.

Baldwin was holding the gun when it went off, but he publicly denied pulling the trigger and the involuntary manslaughter charges against him were dropped.

Production on Rust resumed in April 2023, with Bianca Cline replacing Hutchins as the film's cinematographer.

New first-look images from the film are now available exclusively at Deadline – and two of them feature Hutchins' work.

Hilaria, who faced her own scandal in 2020 when it was revealed that she had been faking her Spanish heritage, has been married to Baldwin since 2012.

They have since welcomed seven children into the world – Carmen Gabriela, 10, Rafael Thomas, eight, Leonardo Angel Charles, seven, Romeo Alejandro David, five, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, three, Maria Lucia Victoria, two, and Ilaria , one.

Her most recent appearance came when Rust's first images appeared in Deadline, providing a posthumous tribute to Hutchins' work on the picture.

One of the stills attributed to Hutchins showed actress Frances Fisher in silhouette, partially framed by an open door that allowed natural light to stream into the room.

Another image by Hutchins was taken outdoors and shows a man on a horse wearing a cowboy hat, riding toward the horizon.

Three other stills were the work of Hutchins' successor Bianca Cline, whose credits include the Oscar-nominated short film “Marcel The Shell With Shoes On.”

The eyes of the world were drawn to Rust in October 2021 when the gun in Baldwin's hand exploded during rehearsals, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

After the shooting in Rust, New Mexico, Baldwin, who is also one of the film's producers, publicly denied pulling the trigger on the gun.

Hutchins' widower Matthew filed a wrongful death lawsuit in 2022, accusing Baldwin and the other producers of recklessness.

That legal battle ended in a settlement, under the terms of which Matthew Hutchins became executive producer of Rust.

Baldwin and the film's gunsmith, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, were charged with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023 in connection with the shootings.

Charges against Baldwin were dropped in April, but it emerged in October that special prosecutors in New Mexico were considering the possibility of charging him again.

Gutierrez-Reed has since pleaded not guilty to the charges against her and her case is currently scheduled to go to trial next month.
