Last December, Deadline reported that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, known for writing, directing, and starring in "Don Jon" and the series "Mr. Corman," was set to direct an AI-themed thriller. Anne Hathaway, who previously co-starred with Gordon-Levitt in films like "Havoc" and "The Dark Knight Rises," was initially cast as the female lead. However, recent reports indicate Hathaway has exited the project, with Rachel McAdams stepping in to replace her. Netflix has now officially secured the distribution rights.

Even before Netflix boarded the project, Rian Johnson's T-Street production company, founded by the writer-director of the "Knives Out" series, was already confirmed as a producer. Gordon-Levitt has a long history of collaborating with Johnson, having starred in Johnson's directorial efforts "Brick" and "Looper." He also appeared in an episode of the Johnson-executive produced detective series "Poker Face" and has frequently made cameo appearances in Johnson's other films.
The film, which is currently untitled and has no official plot synopsis, was penned by Gordon-Levitt and Kieran Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald was among the screenwriters for "Snowden," a film in which Gordon-Levitt starred. Additionally, Natasha Lyonne, the lead actress from "Poker Face," is credited alongside Gordon-Levitt and Fitzgerald for the story concept.
