Pictures.[2] In January 2024, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Hall were confirmed to star.[3] In February 2024, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti joined the cast.[4] DiCaprio earned $20 million for his role.[1]
Filming had begun in California by January 22, 2024.[5][6] The film, under the working title BC Project, filmed for 11 days across Humboldt County, in Eureka, Arcata, Cutten, and Trinidad.[7] On February 3, the production moved to Sacramento, with filming at the Sacramento County Administration Building and Sacramento County Courthouse.[8] Some controversy was generated when a homeless encampment was cleared to allow for filming.[9] On-location filming also took place in El Paso, Texas, in June 2024.[10] The project was shot on 35mm film using VistaVision cameras.[11]
Jonny Greenwood will compose the film's music, marking six feature film collaborations between him and Anderson.[12]
