Production
In May 2023, it was announced that Guy Ritchie would write and direct an untitled action film, with Black Bear International handling international sales for the project as it was brought to the Cannes Film Market. Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González, who had all previously collaborated with Ritchie, were announced as starring in the project. Ivan Atkinson and John Friedberg, additional collaborators of Ritchie's, would produce with him as well. In October 2023, Carlos Bardem and Fisher Stevens were revealed to be part of the cast.
The production was granted an interim agreement allowing the actors to work on the film during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Filming began in September 2023 on Tenerife in the Canary Islands and ended in late October 2023. Early production took place in the Real Casino de Tenerife in Plaza de la Candelaria, before moving to San Andrés, Santa Cruz de Tenerife to film at the fishing dock and Las Teresitas beach areas, with some chase scenes through the village.
Release
In October 2023, Lionsgate picked up U.S. distribution rights to the film. Initially scheduled to be released in the United States on January 17, 2025, Lionsgate pulled the film from its release schedule in November 2024 as post-production on it was not finished in time for that release date.
Black Bear International handled international sales on the film, in addition to distributing in the United Kingdom and Ireland directly and in Canada through Elevation Pictures.
