Vanity Fair has shared the first batch of images from the movie directed by Gary Dauberman, who is known for his work on IT and The Nun. Dauberman told Variety, “You could do a very dry version of this movie, but that’s just not my personality,” He continued. “It’s trying to ride that wave’s ups and downs.
