The majority of the film has been shot in Wheeling, West Virginia. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] In December 2025, Dianna Agron joined the cast, with Eric Swalwell and Sean Penn serving as executive producers. [7] [8] Later that month Penn and Swalwell removed their names from the credits of the film due to the film technicians strike.
In December 2025, a majority of film technicians working on The Gun on Second Street announced their intention to unionize with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. [9] After producers declined to recognize the union or enter into what IATSE described as good-faith negotiations, the crew initiated a strike on December 18, 2025, with IATSE directing its members not to cross the picket line. [10] The production was covered by a SAG-AFTRA agreement but not by contracts with IATSE or several other major industry unions. [11] [12]
