The film was directed by George Gallo, who wrote the cult hit "Midnight Run," and written by Gallo and Andy Weiss. The film features Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, Gabriel Macht, James Caan, Kelsey Grammer, Robert Forster, Kevin Pollak and John Ashton.

The film was financed through Oxymoron Entertainment and is produced by Mallick and Blue Star Entertainment’s William Sherak and Jason Shuman, along with Michael Weiss.

U.S distribution for the film has not been determined.
