Cast

Production

In September 2025, it was announced that Dwayne Johnson and Benny Safdie would reunite to work on an adaptation of Lizard Music, after working together on The Smashing Machine.[1] Johnson recalled telling Safdie, "I'm your Chicken Man," after the film was pitched to him, and lost a lot of weight for the role.[2][3] In October 2025, Amazon MGM Studios acquired rights to the project under its United Artists label, with Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt joining as producers.[4] In July 2026, newcomer Theo Clark Leber joined the cast in the main role, alongside Tim Heidecker, Alicia Silverstone and Regina Hall, the latter playing a friend and co-worker of Chicken Man.[5][6][7] Another newcomer, Arya Parvathi, was also cast in an undisclosed role.[8]

Principal photography will occur from August 3, 2026 to October 14, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia at Trilith Studios.[9]
