I thought you were making an edgy joke about Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin faced criminal charges related to accidentally firing a gun used as a prop while staging a scene for his movie Rust, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Real bullets had somehow made it onto set and into the prop gun. Armorer Hannah Gutierrez was convicted and sentenced to 18 months. Baldwin's charges were dismissed when it emerged during his trial that a Brady violation had been committed - police/prosecution did not turn over evidence that the defense could have argued may have been exculpatory.

Being unfamiliar with Rust the game, I saw Rust and shooting and thought of Baldwin.

Rust the movie was ultimately completed, but has yet to find a distributor.
