It will soon be available on Lionsgate Play and can also be accessed with the OTTplay Premium subscription. During a conversation with Variety, Glen Powell shared an anecdote about meeting Jonathan Majors for the film in a sauna. He admired Majors, stating, “Obviously, Jonathan Majors is going to be on the Mount Rushmore of great actors of our generation. I had just seen The Last Black Man in San Francisco and was like, ‘This is the guy. We have to get him.’ He read and liked the script, and I flew to New York to meet him. I remember getting a nervous call from the producers saying, ‘Hey, Jonathan wants to meet you at a Russian bathhouse. Is that okay?’ I was like, ‘Sure. I will sell him on this movie in a Russian bath.’ It’s funny to meet someone where you’re basically naked and pitching them. But we were there for hours and came out as great friends.”
