Kay Cannon will act as a writer-director.

Cabello said she feels her part in the film was a part of God’s work. “It was one of those things that felt like God handcrafted it for me and was, like, ‘Here you go.’” Cabello told Variety of taking on the movie. “I just couldn’t say no. It’s honestly a dream for me. And also a little bit terrifying.”
