According to media reports, shooting for the film »Rust« is to be moved after the fatal shot on camerawoman Halyna Hutchins.

"The production is considering other locations, including in California, but no decisions have been made," the production company's attorney was quoted as saying by The Hollywood Reporter.

The industry journal Variety also reported that work would no longer continue in New Mexico from January 2023 and that a new location would be sought.

Director of Photography Hutchins was fatally injured on October 21 at a film ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The images from the set amidst a desolate, dusty landscape went around the world.

Alec Baldwin, who served as lead actor and producer on the film, was holding a gun in rehearsal for a scene when a shot went off.

Hutchins left behind a husband and a son.

The family filed a lawsuit against Baldwin and other contributors in February, alleging gross negligence.

In early October, Baldwin settled out of court with the family.

Hutchins' widower announced through his attorney that he had dropped the lawsuit.

A court has yet to formally approve the agreement.

"We all believe Halyna's death was a horrible accident," wrote Matthew Hutchins.

He has no interest in blaming Baldwin and the film producers.

Instead, they wanted to pay tribute to the cinematographer's recent work.

The widower announced that production of 'Rust', which was halted after the fatal incident, will resume next January - he is now on board as an executive producer.
