However, the morning before filming began, a Hungarian Anti-Terrorism Unit raid seized the firearms that had been brought in for use as props for the movie.
This, along with changes to the script, has ensured that the movie has been a lengthy project.

The upcoming film also stars Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and 24 actor James Badge Dale.
