An international co-production between Canada, Denmark, Ireland, and the United States, the biopic was announced in May 2018, but languished until Abbasi, Stan, and Strong joined in 2023. After premiering at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2024, and despite impressing the critics, sparking an eight-minute standing ovation at Cannes, and "feverish media attention" the film struggled to find American distribution due to its subject matter and an attempt by Trump's legal team to block its release.

Curious, would the tariff be reduced to 75% for such an international co-production?
