As per reports, the production company of Rust had announced a settlement for Matthew Hutchins, Halyna's husband and it was agreed that the production would resume after a 15-month hiatus. He had also said in a statement that to wrap up Hust would be a way to "to pay tribute to Halyna's final work".

Halyna was shot dead on the sets of Rust during preparation of a scene with actor Alec Baldwin. The incident took place on October 21, 2021. The gun was fired by Alec, who was told that the gun was "cold".
