In February 2022 it was announced that Anthony McCarten had adapted his stage play and would produce a film version alongside Denis O’Sullivan with Kwame Kwei-Armah directing. Paul Bettany and Jeremy Pope would reprise their roles from the original run of the stage play as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, respectively. In August 2022 Daniel Brühl was added to the cast, while Hannah Beachler would serve as production designer and Robert Yeoman as cinematographer. In September 2022 Melissa Barrera was revealed to be joining the cast, while Paul Machliss would edit the film. Filming started in 2022 in the Greater Boston area with scenes filmed in the Marina Studios in Quincy, Massachusetts from September 14, 2022, and parts of Lynn, Massachusetts doubling up as 1980s New York. ==Release==

Bettany told The New York Observer in late 2022 that the film hadn't been edited at that point, with an earliest release date of late summer 2023, perhaps in Venice - but without firm plans. As of March 2026, the film has yet to be released. ==References==
