The character in the as-yet untitled project is based on a real person, though their specific identity has not been confirmed by representatives for Penn or Warner Bros. Penn notably attended the 2022 House Select Committee hearings investigating the Capitol attack, where he sat with Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police officers Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges, both of whom responded to the events and testified about their harrowing experiences. Described as being about 'an unexpected friendship', production for the film is anticipated to commence in mid-2027. The announcement follows the U.S. Justice Department's decision not to challenge Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which will place the film studio under the control of David Ellison, who, along with his father, has strong ties to President Donald Trump.
