Production

In March 2022, it was announced that an adaptation of the novel by Walter Mosley titled The Man In My Basement was in development, with Nadia Latif making her directorial debut as well as writing the screenplay. Jonathan Majors had been cast as Charles Blakey and that he would also serve as an executive producer.[1] In August 2022, Willem Dafoe joined the cast of the film portraying Anniston Bennet.[2]

In 2023, following Majors's arrest in March 2023 and subsequent assault allegations, he was fired from the film.[3] In January 2024, Corey Hawkins was cast to replace Majors.[4] In February, Anna Diop joined the cast of the film playing Narciss Gully.[5]

Filming

Principal photography began on January 30, 2024, in Cardiff, Wales.[6]
