We wrote with Donner in mind, and we’re happy with the result.”Gibson told IndieWire in September 2022, explaining that production had fallen behind schedule due to changes in management at Warner Bros. Discovery.

However, Mel Gibson will soon be back with a high-stakes heist production. Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace will lead this aerial thriller.
