Interesting facts

Cuck is a 2019 American thriller film directed by Rob Lambert from a screenplay by Lambert and Joe Varkle. It stars Zachary Ray Sherman, Timothy V. Murphy, Sally Kirkland and Monique Parent.

Production

Following several collaborative screenwriting projects, Lambert and Varkle set out to produce a feature film. Beginning in 2016, they outlined several projects that would support a close character study of an isolated individual. Inspired by headlines of mass shooters brainwashed by online hate groups, they opted to tell an "angry young man" story.

Lambert and Varkle began writing the screenplay in May 2017. The first draft was completed in July 2017; the script was submitted to the Black List in September 2017. The script received polarized reviews, with many critics divided over its frank portrayal of hate and sexuality. Lambert and Varkle were later interviewed by the Black List after the film began production.

Lambert and Varkle screened actors who could balance vulnerability with volatility, ultimately settling on Zachary Ray Sherman, who gained 45 lb (20 kg) for the role.
