On February 28, 2019, it was announced that Legendary Entertainment had purchased the project in a competitive bidding war, with Etan Cohen set to write the screenplay. Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage were attached to star in the film as well as produce alongside Andrew Lazar. The film was said to be tonally in the vein of Twins (1988), which centred on two unlikely twins played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito.[1]
Macon Blair was later attached to direct the film and co-write the script with Cohen on April 30, 2020.[2]
On June 3, 2021, Glenn Close joined the main cast, with Max Barbakow directing.[3] Two months later, Brendan Fraser and Taylour Paige were added to the main cast.[4] [5]
Principal photography took place in November 2021 in Atlanta.[4]
On March 7, 2022, the final writing was revealed; Blair received screenplay credit, and Cohen received story credit, while Barbakow and Mike Rosolio have additional literary material credits off-screen.[6]
In October 2023, Amazon MGM Studios acquired distribution rights to the film.[7] The film is scheduled to be released in select theaters in the United States on October 10, 2024 before debuting on Amazon Prime Video on October 17, 2024.[8] [9]
