Production[]
The film was written by Trey Edward Shults and Tesfaye and Reza Fahim. It entered production in 2023, and as of its reveal by Deadline in February 2023, it was already being filmed. Contrary to popular belief, the album of the same name was made only after the movie came into fruition, not the other way around.
As of summer 2024, the movie had stayed in the post-production stage for a year, as no company wanted to distribute it.
Release[]
The movie was initially revealed by Deadline on February 28, 2023, but finally announced to be distributed by Lionsgate on November 4, 2024, with a then-unknown release date.[2][3] It was eventually revealed on December 20, with official first look being revealed on February 3, 2025, and the trailer being released the following day.[4][5]
