In September 2019, Angel Oak Films announced that they would produce and fully fund the Cineville production to be directed by Dito Montiel and starring Aaron Eckhart. [5] [6]

The following year, Grindstone Entertainment Group acquired the distribution rights for North America and Latin America. [7]

In December 2020, George Lopez joined Eckhart and Terrence Howard in the cast of the film. [8] [9]

Principal photography supposedly began on March 14, 2021 and concluded on April 14, 2021 in Humboldt County, California. [10]

No further updates about filming, post-production, nor possible release dates had been provided until September 2023, when it was suddenly revealed that the entire production had been changed, with director Montiel and actors Elkhart, Howard and Lopez no longer attached; the film would supposedly be directed by Amin Matalqa and possibly star Beverly D'Angelo, with no other actors announced, and would be filmed in Louisiana beginning in October and November 2023.
