Controversy
In August 2018, the film drew criticism due to Matthew Newton, who at the time was set to direct, having been accused of multiple allegations of assault and domestic violence. In addition to the accusations, he has also plead guilty to assaulting Brooke Satchwell, his then girlfriend. Jessica Chastain, a vocal advocate of the #MeToo movement, was accused of hypocrisy for working with Newton. Newton would ultimately step down from directing the film, with Tate Taylor hired to replace him. However, Matthew Newton remains on the project as writer and Chastain remains attached to portray Eve.
