Alec Baldwin was spotted hanging out on the “Rust” set Friday in exclusive photos obtained by The Post that also show, for the first time, Bianca Cline, the film’s new cinematographer, in action.
The grey-bearded actor, 65, appeared in his Harland Rust costume, disheveled and bloodied as filming continued on the indie-Western in Montana.
In one image, Baldwin stands casually, yet stoic, among his co-stars, dressed in a tattered blue shirt, suspenders, gray pants and dusty brown boots. When filming was at a standstill, he draped a red blanket over his shoulders.
In other photographs, cameras appear to be rolling as Baldwin is hauled toward a noose by two men in cowboy hats, boots and gritty, trench-like jackets.
Baldwin can be seen putting his head through the rope’s loop while standing on a wooden stage as onlookers ogle below.
Cline was also spotted, 18 months after the fatal shooting of the last cinematographer, 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins.
Production came to a standstill in October 2021 after Baldwin held a prop gun that discharged, accidentally striking and killing Hutchins with a real bullet.
Now, Hutchins’ widower has joined the film as an executive producer.
Production resumed after prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Baldwin last week.
“We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident,” his attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, told The Post at the time.
The actor has maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty in court, denying any wrongdoing in the killing of Hutchins and wounding of director Joel Souza.
On-set armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, meanwhile, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Assistant director David Halls was sentenced last month to six months unsupervised probation after pleading no contest to negligent/unsafe handling of a firearm.
Prosecutors warned charges could be refiled against Baldwin.
Special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis argued that the dropped charges against the “Rust” star do not “absolve Mr. Baldwin of criminal culpability.”
“Our follow-up investigation will remain active and on-going,” the New Mexico prosecutors said in a statement.
All eyes are on the Yellowstone Film Ranch as production picks up.
The “Rust” set was moved from New Mexico to Montana following “serious” safety violations, with the production company reportedly shelling out $100,000 in fines.
On set last week, Baldwin was photographed holding a rifle backwards during filming, presumably for a scene.
The New York Times reported only realistic replica weapons will be available for use on the “Rust” set following Hutchins’ death.
“I’ve said it, and I’m going to say it every single time: There are no weapons on set,” Gerard DiNardi, the film’s assistant director, reportedly assured the crew. “There is nothing that fires. There are a lot of facsimiles of weapons, from rubber to replicas.”
Andrew Wert, the film’s new armorer — whose credits include “Dallas Buyers Club” and “The Duel” — told The Times he “didn’t want any question about where the guns came from.”
For her part, Cline has worked on Netflix’s “Murder Among The Mormons” and the Oscar-nominated “Marcel The Shell With Shoes On.”
