Rust to resume filming with Alec Baldwin after settlement

Almost a year after Halyna Hutchins was shot by Alec Baldwin on the set of the movie Rust, the wrongful death case has been settled and filming will resume.
Julianne Moore is amazing. Her range of acting ability is one of the best I’ve seen. So glad she is finally being recognized for her work in this film and I can’t wait to see it.
I came across this website in my search for the book, Still Alice. I like Juliana. I think she did a superb job in the role from what I could tell from the trailer. My Mom will be 91 in March, is still physically fit but has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Although early stage she does not appear to be aware of her deficits. She used to be a very vibrant social person but she has become disinterested in most social activities. This is very difficult for family to experience, so sad.
I would love to win the book and the passes. Thanks for the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Colleen Ionson
Of the four cast-members listed, Julianne Moore would have to be my favorite by quite a stretch. Sure, I had the hard crush on Mr. Baldwin in the 80’s, and loved him in “30 Rock,” he killed it in “Glen Gary Glen Ross,” BUT Ms. Moore has ripped her heart open on screen more than once – in my opinion her tour de force was “Magnolia,” however, it is hard to choose between roles like Amber Waves in “Boogie Nights,” the lost housewife in “Far From Heaven,” and the saving grace of “Hannibal.” She puts it all out there, leaves herself vulnerable and open, and allows us to believe we have really glimpsed inside the soul of her characters. I always want to leap from my seat to wrap my arms around her and protect her, somehow. What she does takes incredible guts. For these reasons and many more I can’t wait to see “Still Alice.”
The book was wonderfull. My husband died from early onset Alzheimer’s , died fro the disease St 62. Can’t wait to see the movie.
One one my favourite actresses Julianne Moore tackles a tough role but handles it with elegance and certainty. Looking forward to seeing the full film. Will it be coming to Calgary? My mom passed this past August from this terrible disease.
PS … started reading the book and got halfway through when mom passed. Just finished it before Christmas. Amazing insight to how mom would have been seeing things.
Julianne Moore excels in any role she tackles. Even though I haven’t seen the movie, I am sure she will be my favourite. Can’t wait to read the book as both my parents had Alzheimer��s.
Julianne Moore is fantastic. She has such an incredible acting range and can play such a variety of characters. I’m really excited to see this film and see what she does with the role.
I really like Alec baldwin. he can play a range of roles. i really liked him in its Complicated.
I am in awe of Julianne but I do love Kristen Stewart a lot. As a somewhat shy and awkward girl myself, Kristen is extremely relatable and makes me feel a little bit more okay with who I am because she rocks it. She is never apologetic about who she is and you can see her passion for acting and the things she loves clearly. As she gets older she’ll become even more of a force to be reckoned with.
I read the book before i heard that the movie was being made, and I think Julianne Moore did a wonderful job of bringing this book to the big screen. Her understanding of this diseases prior to making the film really shows and i think it’s great that she is receiving recognition for her work. However, I have always been a fan of Kristen Stewart as i have seen all her movies and i think she did a great job with her role as Lydia.
Julianne Moore is an amazing and versatile actress. One of my favorite roles for her was Linda in Magnolia. She was definitely memorable in The Great Lebowski

Julianne Moore is good in every role she is in. It’s about time that she won a Golden Globe.
I just started reading the book. It scares the crap out of me.
Alzheimer��s disease is horrid, nevermind early onset.
I love the idea of Julianne Moore playing Alice and she will be riveting in this movie. The other leads will be great as well. Looking forward to it but bringing my Kleenex.
I loved this book when I read it a few years ago and was very happy they were going to bring it to the scene. My relief when I discovered Julianne Moore as the lead character was instantanious: she will be perfect for this role and so compelling. Her acting really fails to move me and she is most effective in her role compared to the rest of the listed castmates. Can’t wait for it’s release- the trailer is wonderful.
My Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer back in 2010 and even though his condition is stable now, it’s been a challenge for the family. Particularly for my Mum who is his primary caregiver at home. I read the book a few years back and subsequent to that, I had an opportunity to meet the author Lisa Genova who was very nice and even autographed a copy of Still Alice for Mum & Dad. Julianne Moore is an amazing actress and I would love to see her in the movie. Still Alice is a powerful story about despair & hope that needs to be told and shared with everyone!
Julianne Moore is an amazing actress. I am looking forward to seeing this great movie.
Julianne as this would be a difficult role to do well. I read the book and would be great to see the movie!

Julianne Moore is usch a powerful actress who has honed her skill in a variety of roles she was cast in.
I know of the book — seeing it on the big screen would be rather interesting for comparison’s sake.
definitely Julianne Moore and the character she plays. It must have been very challenging emotionally to play. I bet it will be as emotional for the audience to watch. Would love to win this prize! Thanks for the chance
Julianne Moore — I’ve never been disappointed by her performances, even when the rest of the movie isn’t up to her standard. I’m sure this will be another great one!
Julianne Moore was a perfect choice for this role – I have not doubt that she portrays this role emotionally and beautifully. I’m glad they made this into a movie – so many women and men are getting diagnoses of early onset dementia’s and alzheimer’s.
I look forward to seeing Kirsten Stewart in this remake of the book Still Alice. The character she plays is just so very interesting – and deals with so much in this story. I’d love to meet/see all the 4 leads, but Kirsten Stewart is on the top of the list for me.
Love Julianne Moore as we can relate to her. She is always so believable.
Julianne Moore makes some great movies. She is my favourite in this movie

I would choose Julianne Moore to be the best lead in Still Alice. She has a way of drawing us in and believing the character she is portraying. Julianne Moore seems to take on very challenging roles and never disappoints!
I would choose Julianne Moore hands down. We really see how well she fits the character, especially because she has to show that vulnerability and sensitivity. I can’t wait to see this movie! It’s going to be awesome!
Julianne Moore never credited enough. She’s amazing actress.
Julianne Moore is my favourite as she really takes on the character in the movie.
Julianne Moore is my favourite because she is an amazing actress. She morphs into the character.
This is a tough one, hard to pick with this cast, but if I have to, I would pick Alec Baldwin, he just is one of those actors that just works, he makes the role believable, he is good at pulling everything together. And it doesn’t hurt that he is nice to look at;)
Julianne Moore is quite a good actress and seems to get better with time even, always in great movies
Julianne Moore is my favourite of the lead actors – she’s extremely talented!
Kate Bosworth. Style, talent beauty and grace. Need not say more.
Julianne Moore is certainly my choice here. I can’t imagine this complex role could be played by just any actress. Julianne is undeniably beautiful but captivates the audience with her authenticity. I love watching her in movies and I can’t wait to see one of my favourite books played out on the big screen!
Julianne Moore’s character speaks to me most since as a middle aged woman I am worried about ending up in her exact situation.
I have always enjoyed Julianne Moore’s variety of characters that she has played. She consistently brings strength and vulnerability to her roles.
I will be honest, I am not crazy about any of the cast but I do like to go to movies.
It is a great cast, I like them all, but the one who stands out to me is Kate Bosworth. Feels like it has been awhile since I have seen her in a movie and really look forward to see her.
She gives off a girl next door vibe, but have a natural beauty about her.
Julianne Moore always puts it all out there in her roles, she goes for it and blows us away every time.
Julianne Moore. Such a great actor & can’t wait to see her in Still Alice. Loved the book. Alzheimer’s eventually stole someone close to me, many years before she passed. So sad!
I love Julianne Moore, she made me cry in Magnolia. She’s had so many good roles, this looks like another great one.
I’m partial to Julianne Moore. She is a joy to watch onscreen and I think her body of work speaks volumes about her extraordinary talent. I missed Still Alice when it premiered at TIFF, but I do remember the positive buzz that was going around about the movie and Moore’s performance. Now that she has won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Alice, I’m even more excited to catch Julianne in what is most certainly another career-defining role for her.
Julianne Moore is my fav. She is talented and all class!
Julianne Moore is my favorite; always have been. I’m glad she got won the Golden Globe for Best Actress and got nominated for an Academy Award. Hope she wins.
Julianne Moore, hands down. She always brings a certain grace and conviction to her roles. Love her!

Julianne Moore – she is a great talent and a gracious lady
Julianne Moore because she is such a versatile actress.
Of the four leads in the movie, Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart and Kate Bosworth, I would have to say I like Julianne Moore the best. She carries herself with grace & elegance both on & off screen. Maybe it’s an old world glamour thing but I still put movie stars in high regard & she seems to be the only one without controversy. Yeah, I just like her best. Thanks
Id say Julianne Moore is my favorite of the 4 leads.
Definitely Julianne Moore! Her talent is beyond exceptional, would love to see her performance in this role. Cheers
julieanne Moore will be perfect as Alice. I loved the book and recommended it to many people. It’s very thought provoking about a support group, not for the care-givers, but for those living with this.

Julianne Moore is amazing. Her range of acting ability is ONE of the best I��ve seen. So glad she is finally being recognized for her work in this film and I can��t wait to see it.
