Premise

A man and his teenage daughter accidentally crash into a unicorn while they are en route to a crisis management summit with his bosses, Dell Leopold and his family. The Leopolds seize the unicorn, and their scientists discover that its flesh, blood, and, most of all, its horn are endowed with supernaturally curative properties, which the Leopolds seek to exploit. However, as they delve deeper into their research, they discover the deadly consequences of their actions.[1][2]

Production

It was announced in May 2023 that Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd were set to star in the film, from Alex Scharfman.[1] In July, the production was granted a waiver to continue with its production during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, as A24 was not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.[3]

Filming began in Hungary in July 2023.[2]
