There has not been much information released about the Netflix project, but The Hollywood Reporter did confirm a few storylines and roles.
Gillan, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star, and Pascal, of the Disney plus hit series “The Mandalorian,” will play the roles of the made-up franchise’s stars. Leslie Mann and David Duchovny will reportedly play a married acting duo who are no longer together but are forced to quarantine in the bubble for the making of the film.
Sources told the outlet that inspiration for the comedy comes from the real-life making of “Jurassic World: Dominion,” in which the cast ended up being stuck together in the United Kingdom for months during the pandemic, as production was halted and restarted numerous times due to various positive COVID-19 tests.
