The script from Jared Rosenberg landed on The Black List in 2020, the annual list of most-liked unmade scripts from that year.

Then in May 2023, Mel Gibson signed on to direct, with Wahlberg attached to star, reuniting with Gibson with Wahlberg.

They had previously starred together on Father Stu and both Daddy's Home movies for Paramount.

The Flight Risk project marks the first time that Gibson was taking the helm since his 2016 Best Picture nominee, Hacksaw Ridge.

Gibson will also produce alongside Bruce Davey through their Icon Productions company and with John Davis' Davis Entertainment. 

The film started production in June 2023, and was one of several projects to receive a SAG-AFTRA waiver for filming to continue during the writer and actor strikes.

Lionsgate also set a September 13, 2024 release date for director JJ Perry's action comedy The Killer's Game.
