The film is written and directed by Joe Carnahan, who also developed the story with Michael McGrale. Damon and Affleck are also producing the film at Artists Equity. Shortly after the project had been shopped around for a buyer, Netflix purchased the rights to distribute the film. The contract between Artists Equity and Netflix is notable because the streaming service agreed to pay a one-time bonus to the 1,200 people who worked on the film if the movie meets certain performance benchmarks within its first 90 days. This is departure from Netflix's usual approach of paying a single, upfront fee to talent.
