John David Washington & Zendaya Filmed Secret Film ‘Malcolm & Marie’ From Euphoria Creator Sam Levinson

In the midst of the pandemic crisis, John David Washington and Zendaya filmed a top-secret movie directed by Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, Deadline reported.

Titled, Malcolm & Marie, the plot is unknown, but the plot is said to be in the vein of the Adam Driver-Scarlet Johannson film Marriage Story -- "while resonating a number of social themes that the world is experiencing right now." It is the first feature film to complete production during the pandemic.

Production on the film  took place between June 17-July 2 at the Caterpillar House, an environmentally conscious glass architectural marvel in Carmel, CA – all compliant with WGA, DGA and SAG-AFTRA approvals and COVID-19 safety protocols.

Levinson, his production partner and wife Ashley Levinson (producer of Bombshell, EP of Green Knight, co-EP of Queen & Slim), longtime producer Kevin Turen, Washington and Zendaya took it upon themselves to bankroll Malcolm & Marie during pre-production and production.

Turen and Ashley Levinson worked with doctors, lawyers, WGA, DGA and SAG to meet the requirements necessary to go into production. They called a few of their creative collaborators such as Euphoria DP Marcell Rév to shoot, and production designer Michael Grasley.

The production employed a lean crew who wore multiple hats with everyone looking out for each other, i.e., co-EP Kreiss became the default for everything from tracking scripts, stocking craft services and standing in for lighting.
