Scott stated that he was attracted to the project because of Scarpa's script, adding "I just consumed it (...) I knew about the kidnapping, but this story was very, very provocative...Gail Getty was an exceptional character, and there are many facets of the man Getty that make him a really great study .

He was so obsessed with what he was doing (...) He wasn't giving people a second thought ." In regards to Williams, Scott stated that while she was not his first choice, "Michelle is very special as an actress, and I've never done anything with her before (...) The family was very private and there was very little footage of (Gail), but around the kidnapping, there was one particular interview she did that Michelle jumped at, and it shows Gail Getty being very assertive, very smart," both qualities Williams possessed .
