- Production is scheduled to begin in Hungary in February, and Polinger says he is in Budapest conducting pre-production scouts.
- The Hollywood Reporter says Mikey Madison is playing twin sisters, while Léa Seydoux is reported to portray a scheming lady-in-waiting.
- A24 will distribute worldwide, with Picturestart’s Julia Hammer and Erik Feig producing alongside James Presson and Lucy McKendrick, and Polinger serving as executive producer.
- Outlets report a castle-set narrative during a plague centered on nobles and an infiltrator from the lower class, though detailed plot elements have not been fully confirmed by the studio.
