Controversy
In August 2018, the film drew immense criticism due to Matthew Newton, who at the time was set to direct, having multiple allegations of assault and domestic violence, as well as a guilty plea to assaulting his then girlfriend Brooke Satchwell. Jessica Chastain, a vocal advocate of the MeToo movement, was accused of hypocrisy for working with Newton.[6] Newton would ultimately exit the film, with Tate Taylor hired to replace him.[7][8]
