Writer and director Na Hong-jin was reportedly originally collaborating on the project with Alfonso Cuarón. It is Na Hong-jin's first since The Wailing in 2016.[2] He has described how the film developed from an idea he had in 2017 or 2018 of a single image that came to him whilst eating in a restaurant.[3] It is produced by Forged Films with Plus M Entertainment distributing internationally and UTA Independent Film Group and Plus M distributing in North America. Cinematography is by Hong Kyung-pyo who also collaborated on The Wailing.[4] The budget for the film was reportedly higher than any previous Korean film.[5]
