The new project, which is a wedding comedy, is being filmed in Savannah, Georgia amid the SAG-AFTRA strike, which began "after last-ditch talks with studios on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence ended without a deal," according to a report by AFP.

Deadline reported that Wilson's upcoming movie was granted an Interim Agreement because it's an independent production.

“The Interim Agreement gives many of our journeyman performers and crews the opportunity to pay their rent and feed their families. This approach maintains our strength, solidarity, and upper hand with the AMPTP until they yield to the deal we deserve,” the guild explained.

“The Interim Agreement is not a waiver. To be clear, it is a contract that includes all terms and conditions for producers looking to employ our members on their specific independent productions," it added.
