The film languished in "development hell" for several years before it finally started production. It was originally developed by the Weinstein brothers in 2005. They brought in novelists Michael Connelly and Terill Lee to write the first script with Paul McGuigan to direct. With no progress, in 2010, the rights were then sold to Mace Neufeld and Escape Artists. Paul Haggis was brought in to write another draft with Russell Crowe to play Robert. However, other project commitments resulted in both men dropping out before Denzel Washington saw the script and expressed interest in playing Robert.
