Overview

  • Industry reports say Lively will also produce the film with Marc Platt attached as a producing partner.
  • The story centers on Annie, a reality-TV producer stranded with survival celebrity Chopper Lane, whose expertise proves to be a sham.
  • A director has not been named, and casting for the male lead remains unconfirmed.
  • Social-media reaction was swift, with criticism and some Instagram users calling for a boycott, alongside comments from supporters.
  • Baldoni’s $400 million counterclaim was dismissed by a New York court in June 2025, and Lively’s case continues toward a spring 2026 trial.
