Vaniček, who co-wrote the screenplay with Florent Bernard, has expressed his vision for the film, stating, “I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested.” He aims to infuse the film with a “French twist,” incorporating elements of French culture and filmmaking style.
