New Mexico Rejects 'Rust' Film Incentive After Fatal Shooting
The denial disrupts financial plans for the movie's producers as Alec Baldwin faces trial for involuntary manslaughter.
- The rejected $1.6 million incentive was intended to help settle legal claims with the family of the deceased cinematographer.
- Producers have until late July to appeal the decision by New Mexico tax authorities.
- The film wrapped production last year in Montana with some original cast and crew members.
- The state's film incentives program is one of the most generous in the U.S., offering rebates of 25% to 40%.
- The denial may impact future film projects' confidence in New Mexico's incentive program.
