It is based on the novella by Denis Johnson. 

In addition to starring, Edgerton serves as an executive producer. Train Dreams also stars alongside Academy Award nominees Felicity Jones, Kerry Condon, and William H. Macy, in addition to Nathaniel Arcand, Clifton Collins Jr., John Diehl, and Paul Schneider. The film features a score composed by Academy Award nominee / multi-Grammy winner Bryce Dessner (The Two Popes, The Revenant). 

For their screenplay for Sing Sing, Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar received an Academy Award nomination. Their previous collaborations include the 2016 thriller Transpecos and the 2021 drama Jockey.
