Neill Blomkamp, Mike Blomkamp of STABILITi Studios, Stuart Ford and Linda McDonough of AGC Studios are on board as producers.

IFC Midnight will release the film on August 20, 2021.
Arianna Bocco, President of IFC Films commented. She said, “Neill Blomkamp exploded onto the filmmaking scene with District 9. He has made his mark by creating films that challenge and subvert the genre. It’s exciting to work together on this highly anticipated new vision. And be immersed in yet another world terrifyingly similar to our own.”
Said AGC Chairman and CEO Ford also added. “IFC Midnight is an ideal brand for Neill’s first foray into supernatural terror to be released theatrically and in other media. We’re very confident in the job that Arianna and her team are going to do.”
