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 departed due to a scheduling conflict.[7] In October 2020, Gemma Chan and KiKi Layne joined the cast of the film, with Layne replacing Johnson who also had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict with The Lost Daughter.[8] 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.[9][10]
