Cast

Production

In December 2020, a screenplay titled Borderline, written by Jimmy Warden and backed by LuckyChap Entertainment, was featured on The Black List and received 11 mentions.[2] [3] In May 2022, Samara Weaving teased the development of a project in collaboration with her husband Warden during an interview with Harper's Bazaar, with Warden set to write and direct while Weaving would star.[4] Eric Dane attached to star in the same month.[5] In September, it was reported that the film was in production, marking Warden's directorial debut, with Productivity Media co-producing and Radiant Films International handling world distribution rights.[6] The cast also includes Ray Nicholson, Alba Baptista, and Jimmie Fails,[7] [8] with Nicholson expressing immediate interest in the project after reading the script due to his attraction to the troupe-breaking and morally imperfect character.[9]

Principal photography began in September 2022 in Vancouver, Canada.[10] The film reportedly entered post-production by November,[11] [12] with Margot Robbie attached as a producer. Post-production took place at the newly opened Elemental Post Opens Studio in Vancouver,[13] and wrapped up in February 2023,[14] while Warden stated that he would not move forward with the project in the same month until after completing the promotion and release cycle for Cocaine Bear (2023).[15] In August, the film was presented at market screenings during the 48th Toronto International Film Festival.[16] In May 2024, two first-look images of the film were released.[17] [18]
