Sadly, there hasn’t been any update on the development of Rust, but it appears there may have once been an idea to turn the movie into an animated adaptation instead of a live-action movie. Some Rust test footage has been discovered online, created by animator Ryan J. Woodward, the same guy who has worked on movies like Space Jam, Osmosis Jones, The Iron Giant and Tomorrowland.
Watch the Rust animation test footage below.

For those who aren’t familiar with Rust, here’s the official synopsis of the first volume:
The above clip takes place on the farm, following Jet Jones as he rides on the front of Roman Taylor’s motorcycle, which is being chased by the giant robot. In addition, there’s also another test clip featuring the robot from the above video that was posted over a year ago, but you have to watch it over at Vimeo since privacy settings keep it from being embedded.
Rust is a high-octane adventure set in the prairie lands of an unknown time. Life on the Taylor family farm was difficult enough before Jet Jones crashes into the barn, chased by a giant decommissioned war robot! Oldest son Roman Taylor struggles to keep his family’s small farm afloat as the area heals from a devastating world war. While the rest of his family may not trust the mysterious boy with the jetpack, Roman believes the secrets of Jet’s past may be the key to their survival.
