On February 21, 2019, Amblin Partners announced it had bought Spenser Cohen's spec script for film with its working title Distant.[4] In August 2019, Josh Gordon and Will Speck came on board as directors, with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, and Anna Halberg attached as producers.[5] In December 2019, Anthony Ramos joined the cast.[6] Rachel Brosnahan was cast in February 2020, but later dropped out due to scheduling conflicts; Naomi Scott replaced her in August 2020.[7][8][9] Filming began in Budapest, Hungary, on September 21, 2020.[10] As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cast and crew followed safety protocols such as "extensive sanitization" procedures, wearing face masks, and social distancing.[11][12] Filming concluded on November 13, 2020.[13] By May 2021, the film was still in post-production.[14][15] Steven Price composed the score and Gregory Plotkin edited the film.[16][17]

Universal Pictures originally scheduled the film for March 11, 2022, September 16, 2022, and later January 27, 2023, before removing it from its release schedule.[2][18] At one point, Amblin's website listed it for January 19, 2024, but in November 2023, it removed it from its schedule.[19]
