The film will be produced by Lionsgate, and Van Sant is currently involved only involved as a scribe. He and Ellis will be based on the original article written by Nancy Jo Sales. "There had been reports they had become 'paranoid,'" wrote Sales, "obsessed with conspiracy theories, believing they were being harassed by Scientologists."

Theresa was best known for her work on CD-rom game, Chop Suey, while her husband was a digital artist and graphic designer at Rockstar. She overdosed on pills, while her husband walked into the ocean and never came out. On the back of a business card, Blake wrote, "I am going to join the lovely Theresa."
