The musical science fiction film was described as "Dr. Strangelove and Brazil meets Young Frankenstein and The Greatest Showman."
Speaking about the process of adapting the original play, Proyas said he wrote it with an intent of placing focus on current technological advancements. Proyas said "it talks about what’s happening today in terms of AI, but through the lens of this wonderful, classic tale, so a lot had to change.”
