Alec Baldwin’s Rust premiere crashes festival website due to overwhelming demand for tickets

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is in such high demand that the event’s ticketing website crashed on Tuesday morning shortly after tickets became available.

Rust, the Alec Baldwin-starring Western that was struck by tragedy after the on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins three years ago, is finally set to premiere this week.
