The film is a co-production between Platinum Dunes and Sunday Night Productions, with Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, and Krasinski producing.[6][7] In May 2021, Krasinski announced that Nichols' script was complete and submitted to the studio.[8] By October, however, Nichols dropped out of the film due to creative differences while the studio was reported to be quickly looking for a replacement.[9] In January 2022, Michael Sarnoski was announced to replace Nichols as writer and director.[10]
