Production

It was announced in February 2022 that Chris Pine was set to make his directorial debut on the film, which he co-wrote the screenplay for with Ian Gotler. Pine will also star in the film alongside Annette Bening and Danny DeVito.[1] Pine came up with the idea for the film during a conversation with director Patty Jenkins, who will serve as a producer.[3] In May, Ariana DeBose and Jennifer Jason Leigh were added to the cast, with Matthew Jensen set as cinematographer.[4] In July, DeWanda Wise joined the cast.[5]

Filming began in June 2022 in Los Angeles.[6] The film moved to post-production by November 2022, with the distribution rights being sold by AGC International to Paramount Pictures and other companies for multiple countries outside the United States.[7] The rights for the UK and Ireland were sold to Signature Entertainment.[2]
