The cast includes Hugh Jackman (Deadpool & Wolverine), Kate Hudson (Running Point), Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, and Hudson Hensley, with Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi.
Focus developed the project and holds worldwide rights to the film. Universal Pictures International is handling international distribution for the studio.
Principal photography began on October 14, 2024, in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Filming wrapped on December 11 of that year. The movie has not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
