Promete elementos visuales impactantes fieles al estilo de Park. McConaughey tiene vínculos previos con el guion, que apareció en la Black List de 2006. Amazon adquirió los derechos en su momento y lo consideró para el papel protagonista en 2019. El debut de Park en lengua inglesa fue 'Stoker' en 2013, tras adaptaciones de autores como Donald Westlake, Sarah Waters y Émile Zola. La película será representada para ventas internacionales por la compañía 193 de Patrick Wachsberger, parte de Legendary, en Cannes, donde Park preside el jurado.
