Production

It was announced in August 2019 that a bidding war amongst 18 studios was occurring to acquire the next project directed by Olivia Wilde. It was won by New Line Cinema the same month.[1][2] The screenplay appeared on the 2019 Black List.[3]

In April 2020, Florence Pugh, Shia LaBeouf and Chris Pine were added to the cast of the film,[4] with Dakota Johnson joining the next month.[5][6] In September 2020, Harry Styles joined the cast of the film, replacing LaBeouf who had allegedly dropped out due to a scheduling conflict.[7] However, it was later reported that LaBeouf had been fired by Wilde over poor behavior and clashing with the cast and crew.[8] In October 2020, Gemma Chan and KiKi Layne joined the cast of the film, with Layne replacing Johnson who had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict with The Lost Daughter.[9] That same month, Sydney Chandler, Nick Kroll, Douglas Smith, Kate Berlant, Asif Ali, Timothy Simons, and Ari'el Stachel joined the cast of the film.[10][11]

Principal photography began on October 20, 2020.[12] It was temporarily halted for two weeks on November 4 after a crew member tested positive for COVID-19.[13]
