Cast
Production
The film was announced in April 2020, with Karen Gillan,[4] Aaron Paul,[4] Beulah Koale[4][3] and Jesse Eisenberg cast.[2] Principal photography began in October 2020.[5] The film will be shot entirely in Tampere, Finland,[4][3][1][6][7][8] and is also co-financed by IPR.VC, the Finnish venture capital company.[9] Due to the worst COVID-19 pandemic in America, the film crew tried to find a suitable location in Canada and New Zealand, but to no avail, so Finland was chosen as the shooting location for the film.[10] The filming took six weeks.[3]
With the successful filming, the City of Tampere and Film Tampere signed an agreement with XYZ Films for other future productions of the company.[11]
