Director Scott Mann faced a significant challenge when Lionsgate deemed his film too explicit, leading to the decision to edit out 36 f-bombs for a PG-13 rating.
Utilizing his startup Flawless, Mann successfully replaced profanities with cleaner alternatives, showcasing a new method of AI video editing that synchronizes dialogue with facial expressions.
Despite the intense editing process, Mann humorously noted that he was allowed one f*ck in the final cut, satisfying both his artistic vision and the ratings board.
The film, after its successful edits and release, grossed $21 million on a $3 million budget, leading to a planned sequel.
