Principal photography is set to begin in New Orleans on June 13.
Pathé International will handle international sales, starting this week in Cannes. Twentieth Century Fox will distribute in the UK for Pathé.

Cameron McCracken, Managing Director of Pathé UK, said: “It was impossible to resist Ryuhei’s passionate vision for this project and his desire to create an iconic anti-hero for our times. WWE Studios have been ideal partners and we look forward to many other shared ventures.”
“WWE Studios maintains a flexible business model that allows us to seek out partners to co-finance, produce and distribute films of all genres to appeal to our fans’ wide array of film tastes,” said Michael Luisi, EVP Business Development, WWE. “Teaming up with Pathé is the perfect example.
