Many fans in the comment section were thrilled to see a few snaps in the making of "Malcolm & Marie," which was directed by Sam Levinson who shot the film under lockdown.

While strictly practicing health protocols, the crew worked silently. It took Levinson six days to write the movie, but there were instances when he would re-write the lines. Levinson said:

"I'll rewrite lines, or I’ll be on set, throw a whole scene out, and start from scratch."
