Cast

Production

In November 2022, it was reported that Bryan Fuller would produce and direct the "family horror film" Dust Bunny, from a script he wrote. Mads Mikkelsen signed on in a lead role. [6] In June 2023, Sigourney Weaver was reported to be in the cast. She told the New York Social Diary that she plays "another person who's not so nice, opposite Mikkelsen". [7] In December 2023, it was announced that David Dastmalchian was in the film's cast. [8]

Principal photography began in Budapest in June 2023. [5] Since the production is not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, it was granted an interim agreement to continue filming during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. [9]
