The film is being produced by Minglu Ma, George Acogny, Jill Ahrens, Ryan Ahrens, Ben Renzo, Sandberg, Pelle Strandberg, David Katzenberg, Seth Grahame-Smith, Aaron Schmidt, Philip Westgren and Fassbender.

Shipp was seen in films like 'A Dog's Way Home' and 'Shaft'. Some of her forthcoming projects include the CBS Film comedy 'Lexi' and Netflix's 'All The Bright Places'.
