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.{{cite news |last1=Grandes |first1=Almudena |title=La nueva película de Guy Ritchie se rueda en Tenerife hasta octubre |url=https://www.laprovincia.es/cultura/2023/09/06/nueva-pelicula-guy-ritchie-rueda-91749742.html |work=La Provincia |date=September 6, 2023 |language=es |trans-title=Guy Ritchie's new film is shooting in Tenerife until October}}{{Cite web|date=October 27, 2023|last=Wiseman|first=Andreas|title=Guy Ritchie's Action Movie With Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill & Eiza González Sells Around The World For Black Bear, Film Wraps In Spain|url=https://deadline.com/2023/10/guy-ritchie-movie-jake-gyllenhaal-henry-cavill-eiza-gonzalez-sales-buyers-1235585036/|access-date=November 2, 2023|website=Deadline Hollywood}} Early production took place in the Real Casino de Tenerife in Plaza de la Candelaria,{{cite news |last1=Cruz |first1=Almudena |title=Guy Ritchie lleva el rodaje de su nueva película hasta el Casino de Tenerife |url=https://www.eldia.es/cultura/2023/09/07/guy-ritchie-lleva-rodaje-nueva-91827950.html |work=El Día |date=September 7, 2023 |language=es |trans-title=Guy Ritchie takes the filming of his new film to the Tenerife Casino}} before moving to San Andrés, Santa Cruz de Tenerife to film at the fishing dock and Las Teresitas beach areas,{{cite news |last1=Felipe |first1=José Antonio |title=Henry Cavill toma la Dársena Pesquera de Santa Cruz de Tenerife |url=https://diariodeavisos.elespanol.com/2023/09/henry-cavill-darsena-pesquera/ |work={{ill|Diario de Avisos|es}} |date=September 13, 2023 |language=es |trans-title=Henry Cavill takes over the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Fishing Dock}} with some chase scenes through the village.{{cite news |last1=Herrera |first1=Ricardo |title=Persecución a toda velocidad por San Andrés: es la película de Henry Cavill |url=https://diariodeavisos.elespanol.com/2023/09/san-andres-henry-cavill/ |work={{ill|Diario de Avisos|es}} |date=September 23, 2023 |language=es |trans-title=Full speed chase through San Andrés: it's Henry Cavill's movie}}
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.
