TheLast Taketrailer also includes footage of authorities interviewing armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was responsible for overseeing prop weapons on theRustset. “Why would there be live ammo on set?” one official asks Gutierrez-Reed, who then replies, “I have no idea.”

She wassentenced to 18 months in prison, the maximum penalty, in April.

Elsewhere in the trailer, friends and coworkers — includingRustdirectorJoel Souza, who was also injured in the 2021 incident — recall her emotional final moments, as well as the lead-up and fallout from her death.

“It sounded like an explosion,” one interviewee recalls in the trailer. “She looked up at me and said, ‘I can’t feel my legs,’ ” another remembers.

“Beyond the headlines lies the real story,” text in the trailer teases as Souza declares that “what people really wanted from this is entertainment.”

WithLast Take, Mason “goes beyond the public narrative to reveal the untold human story of that terrible day and all that followed — from the vantage point of the people at the center of the tragedy,” an official synopsis reads. “The film weaves together the accounts of those who were on the set of RUST that day and of those, like Mason, who not only lost a cherished friend and colleague but who are still navigating the trauma of the aftermath.”

Mason also shared an emotional message to her late friend and documentary subject ahead of the release of the officialLast Taketrailer onInstagram. “Halyna. I’m never going to get over your death,” she began the post.

“If you can hear me, wherever you are, I hope you know that I tried my best to help the world understand the vastness of your light, and how impossible it is to reconcile that something so terrible happened to someone as extraordinary as you,” the director continued. “It is not fair. I want to remember you like this. We were forced to share you before your time. I want the world to know you as the artist, mother, visionary, and great friend that you were to me and so many others.”
