- The package is set at Amazon MGM Studios with United Artists’ Scott Stuber attached, alongside producers Nick Nesbitt, Sam Esmail and Chad Hamilton.
- Reports citing unnamed sources suggest an eye toward a summer shoot in London and Hungary and note two female leads still to be cast, though these details remain unconfirmed.
