Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody and Justin Wilkes will produce the film on Hepburn for Imagine, with Marc Gilbar serving as executive producer and Joyce Choi overseeing development. Collins, Charlie McDowell and Alex Orlovsky will produce for Case Study Films alongside LaStaiti. Sam Wasson and Brandon Millan will executive produce for Felix Farmer Productions, with Michael Shamberg also exec producing.
