    Gomez — who recently opened up about her hiatus on social media — was also joined by her costars Zoe and Edgar Ramirez, who hugged after the film ended, according to Variety.

    Later, Gomez shared photos from the film’s afterparty on her Instagram Story.

    The Disney Channel alum sizzled in a dark green long-sleeved dress as she relaxed on an outdoor couch.

    The Only Murders In The Building star was adorned with several jewelery pieces and her gorgeous brunette locks were partially tied back into a wavy ponytail.

    The film’s cast is led by Karla Sofia Gascon and includes artists such as Mark Ivanir and Adriana Paz.

    Production on the feature film was initially scheduled to take place in 2022, although filming was pushed back several months due to scheduling conflicts.

    Audiard spoke to Variety earlier this year and revealed that he didn’t initially envision Emilia Perez as a feature film.

    The director told the media that he initially thought the project would take the form of “an opera libretto in four acts,” although he later changed his mind.

    ‘It was the first time an idea emerged [for a film] came to me in this form,” he added.

    The filmmaker further stated that he shot the film primarily in studios because working on set gave him “more freedom for the parts that are sung and choreographed.”

    He described his choice to film his project in a studio as “a return to a primal intuition.”

    Emilia Perez is currently set to hit theaters in France on August 28.
