Production

The film, written by David Frigerio and William Eubank—with Eubank also directing, was first announced at the 2022 Cannes Film Market. Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth were the first cast members attached to the film.[2] In September 2022, additional casting announcements added Milo Ventimiglia, Luke Hemsworth, Ricky Whittle, Daniel MacPherson, Chika Ikogwe,[3] and Robert Rabiah.[4] George Burgess was brought to the cast by Crowe.[5]

Filming began in September 2022, running through November 2022 in the Gold Coast, Queensland.[6][7] The production took advantage of location incentives offered by the Australian government, bringing roughly 270 jobs to its local film industry.[6] During production, Signature Entertainment purchased the distribution rights for UK-Ireland, France and Scandinavia.[8]
