The film also stars John Malkovich (Deep Water Horizon), Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead), Iko Uwais (The Raid franchise) and Ronda Rousey (Furious 7). Berg directs a script from Graham Roland and Lea Carpenter. Producers are Berg for Film 44, Wahlberg for Closest to the Hole, and Stephen Levinson for Leverage. John Logan Pierson is executive producing.
The movie is shooting in Atlanta and Bogota, Colombia, with principal photography expected to wrap this week. The sequel in the works comes alongside other projects via STXtv and STXsurreal VR.
