"We're in what I would call development of the screenplay." Roven explained. "We finally, I think, have a good story to tell. Not kind of – we do believe we have a good story to tell. And then we're also just moving out of what normally we would call soft prep into hard prep. We're hoping to start shooting the movie sometime this summer, and hope to have it out by the end of '19," Roven detailed.

Roven's admission aligns with earlier production speculations that suggest that filming is going to take place in locations inside England over the summer.
