Lucy Stanbridge is a young publisher who inherited her father's once successful publishing house. To keep it afloat in face of a recent streak of disastrous releases, she seeks the help of cantankerous old writer Harris Shaw, a legendary author who hasn't published a book in 50 years. Lucy has a contract that stipulates Shaw still owes the publishing house a book and is required to do a book tour for it. Reluctantly, Harris agrees to gives his unpublished manuscript to Lucy and to go on tour with her, but his wild antics prove to be hard to handle.
The project was announced in May 2019 while it was being sold during the Cannes Film Festival. Michael Caine was cast to star, with Lina Roessler set to make her directorial debut. Filming was originally set to begin in July that year.[2] However no additional news was announced until November, when Aubrey Plaza and Scott Speedman were added to the cast.[3][4] In December, Ellen Wong and Cary Elwes joined the cast of the film.[5][6]
Filming began in November 2019 in Montreal, Quebec, with filming expected to continue until December 12.[7]
