Mark Wahlberg's production company was one of the first to become interested in the rights to fictional films, and quit because the bid was too high. Universal Pictures and Focus ultimately won. But James asked for the right to retain creative control over the film and served as a producer himself. Co-producer Dana Bununnetti is the producer of [Captain Philippe] and [The Social Network]. James personally selected Kelly Marcel, the screenwriter of Big Dreamer, to co-write the screenplay for the film.
