McLean will produce the project, along with Dana Lustig, Gary Hamilton, Mike Gabrawy and Todd Fellman. Arclight Films is handling worldwide sales and is packaging the film.

Kretschmann's credits include Avengers: Age of Ultron and Cars 2, while Russell is known for roles in Chronicle, The Host and Carrie.
