Bad Times at the El Royale is a 2018 American neo-noir thriller film written and directed by Drew Goddard, who produced the project with Jeremy Latcham through TSG Entertainment and Goddard Textiles. It stars Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman, and Chris Hemsworth. The plot follows six strangers and an employee at the El Royale, a hotel along the California-Nevada border, who arrive with personal dark secrets that eventually intersect on a fateful night. The spec script for the film was initially written by Goddard in November 2016, before he sold it the following year in March to 20th Century Fox. After Erivo joined the film in a singing role, Russell Crowe signed on to star but dropped out before filming began. To find his replacement, Hamm was given two days to choose whether he wanted to star, a choice he quickly accepted, having wanted to work with Bridges.
