The film was eventually made ten years later, combining two previously unrelated scripts, one a crime film by the Coens, and one a historical drama based on the real-life story of the Myers family, the only black family in all-white Levittown, Pennsylvania who faced racially-charged harassment and violence from other residents. On December 8, 2015, Matt Damon, Julianne Moore and Josh Brolin joined the cast, and Oscar Isaac and Woody Harrelson later signed on as well. On August 31, 2016, Noah Jupe and Glenn Fleshler joined, to play Damon's character's son, and a hitman, respectively.
