Overview
- The film held its world premiere Friday night in Park City during Sundance’s final year there.
- Franco joined as a producer after reengaging about 18 months ago, helping fund the movie and proposing O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Mason Thames for their roles.
- Blair credits a prior Sundance meeting with Peter Dinklage for aiding the film’s packaging, with Dinklage and Kiernan Shipka appearing in supporting roles.
- The darkly comic road saga was developed for over a decade, nearly filmed in 2017 before financing fell apart, and was ultimately shot quickly last summer.
- The movie is seeking distribution out of the festival, and Blair expressed hopes for a theatrical release.
