Production
In May 2024, it was announced that John Lee Hancock would be directing and co-writing a biographical legal drama film based on the Johnson v. Monsanto Co. lawsuit, with Glen Powell, Anthony Mackie, and Laura Dern starring.[1] By April 2026, Powell and Mackie had exited the project, with Jonathan Bailey and Lakeith Stanfield cast instead. John Schwartzman served as the cinematographer.[2][3] Principal photography began in June 2026, in Bavaria, when Greg Kinnear, Julia McDermott, David Duchovny, Melonie Diaz, and Bilal Hasna joined the cast. Netflix acquired the distribution rights.[4][5]
