Standing before the cast and crew, Jennifer said: “I couldn’t have dreamed when we started talking about doing this movie - Jason and I on our first zoom - that we would have collected such an incredible group of people, who are so perfect in every way. I feel like we’re all destined to be here.”

Touching on how wonderful it is to be back at work, she continued: “It’s my first movie back since the pandemic and I remember why I love it so much and why I love to be around people so much.” She then added a quote from someone else, saying: “Great location, but better people.”

“We’re gonna miss you guys and we love you and we thank you so much,” she capped things off. The actors being wrapped were: Desmin Borges, Jennifer Coolidge, Sônia Braga, Melissa Hunter, Cheech Marin and Steve Coulter. According to the team’s posts, principal photography is only halfway done.
