With a $25 million film budget, the Enemies‘ production offices will open in two weeks and filming will begin in June at locations throughout the Chicago area.

Sources say they are in talks with Austin Butler and Jeremy Allen White for the leading roles in what is being referred to as a spy vs. spy thriller.

As The Bear wraps the filming of Season 4, many of the crew members will roll right into working on this A24 project.

In the ever-evolving landscape of film production, A24’s key strengths lie in its ability to attract and support a diverse range of filmmakers and embrace unconventional narratives.

Established in 2012, the studio has become synonymous with boundary-pushing storytelling, collaborating with visionary directors who challenge cinematic norms.

A24 has carved out a niche as a powerhouse for independent filmmakers. From psychological horror to genre-bending spectacles the studio continues to redefine contemporary cinema.

Incredible news. I’m a massive fan of Henry Dunham’s first film, The Standoff at Sparrow Creek. I've been eagerly awaiting his next feature film. He's assembling quite a cast so far as well. Jeremy Allen White and Austin Butler are talented actors and good leads for a crime film. A24 is really nailing it. Can’t wait!
