'Although our hearts are broken, and it is hard to see beyond the horizon, this is, at the moment, a pause rather than an end,' the production team wrote.

The note also said the production company would not be commenting more on the incident or whether proper safety protocols were followed on set."As with any ongoing investigation, we are limited in our ability to say anything further publicly or privately, and ask for your patience in that regards. As the investigation continues, we cannot respond to the comments that have been making their way into the media, on social media and elsewhere," the note said.

While the film will wrap for now, the letter left open the possibility that production on"Rust" could resume at some point in the future. "Although our hearts are broken, and it is hard to see beyond the horizon, this is, at the moment, a pause rather than an end," the production team concluded."The spirit that brought us all to this special place remains."
