Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega are teaming up for Death of a Unicorn, a new A24 movie that has been given special permission to keep filming during the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Not much is known about the flick yet, though we do know that the pair will be playing a father and daughter who run over a unicorn on their way home. Shooting is due to kick off in Hungary very soon, with Resurrection director Alex Scharfman, who wrote the script, behind the camera.

"It's been a complex process, many say. There's little recent precedent for a waiver template given that the last SAG strike for theatrical and TV actors was in the 80s," Deadline explained. "The guild's website promised weeks ago that when a strike was authorized, waivers would be granted, but it didn't disclose terms, how, or when."

Other movies having been given the go-ahead include Dust Bunny, Rebel Wilson's action comedy Bride Hard, faith-based TV series The Chosen, and Mother Mary, David Lowery's upcoming melodrama starring Michaela Coel and Anne Hathaway.
