Goodman — whose house in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles burned down earlier this year — also has other projects in preproduction currently, including Chili Finger and Smurfs.
Some of filmmaker Iñárritu’s notable films include 21 Grams (2003), Babel (2006), Biutiful (2010), Birdman (2014), The Revenant (2015) and Bardo (2022).
Over the course of his illustrious career, Iñárritu has been nominated for and won accolades at various awards shows, including the Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the BAFTA Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards.
