Production
In January 2024, it was announced that Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans were set to star in the film.[2] The screenplay was written by married couple Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke, as the second in a "queer B-movie trilogy", following 2024's Drive-Away Dolls, which also starred Qualley and was also a lesbian-themed caper film.[3][4] The duo characterized the film as a dark comedy that included the tone of earlier Coen brothers works, such as Raising Arizona, but including sexual content the brothers did not typically include in their collaborations.[3][1] The release of this trilogy is the outcome of 20 years of writing by Coen and Cooke.[5]
Filming began in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the first week of March 2024.[6]
