Production

Filming occurred in Pearlington, Mississippi and Waveland, Mississippi in September 2023. [5] [6] Since filming occurred during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the filmmakers were granted interim agreements which gave them permission to make the film. [7]

Crew members dispute the directorial credit Routt received for the film alleging that Randall Emmett coordinated several production elements while remaining unlisted on call sheets and avoiding the spotlight. According to props assistant Michael Castro, "He (Routt) literally was pretending he was directing the scene that was going on - looking at the monitor and then looking over at the action and making hand movements to make it look like he was telling people what to do. It was all make-believe." [8]

Release

Armor was first released in the Philippines on October 30, 2024. [9] [10] It was released day-and-date in the United States on November 22, 2024. [11]
