In January 2024, it was reported that an untitled genre film directed, written and co-produced by Ryan Coogler, based on his original idea, through his production company Proximity Media. Longtime collaborator Michael B. Jordan was cast in the lead role.[3] Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Universal Pictures were in a bidding war to acquire the distribution rights to the film. Coogler's script was described as a period genre vampire film. The budget has been said to be around $90 million.[4] The following month, it was announced that Warner Bros. won the distribution rights to the film.[5]

In April, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo, Jayme Lawson, Wunmi Mosaku, Omar Benson Miller, Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li and Lola Kirke joined the cast in undisclosed roles, with O'Connell portraying the villain.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] In May, Yao, Miles Caton, Peter Dreimanis and Christian Robinson rounded out the cast.[14][15]

Principal photography began in New Orleans on April 13, 2024, with Autumn Durald Arkapaw serving as the cinematographer.[16] The film was shot using a combination of IMAX 15-perf 65 mm and Panavision Panaflex 65 mm cameras.[17][18] Filming occurred using the working title Grilled Cheese.[19] Filming wrapped on July 17.[20] The production spent $67.6 million on-location in Louisiana.[21]
