The film was originally conceived by Barbeau as centred around a male protagonist, but he subsequently decided to complete the screenplay with a woman for the lead role instead.[John Hopewell, [https://variety.com/2019/film/news/media-luna-acquires-we-had-it-coming-the-friendly-man-cannes-1203195188/ "Cannes Festival: Media Luna Takes We Had It Coming, The Friendly Man"].
