The movie has been co-produced by Shayne Putzlocher of Trilight Entertainment along with Jean Pierre Magro, Pedja Miletic, and Aaron Briffa of Jaggurnaught. Frank Grillo, Polina Pushkareva, and Nika Finch are the executive producers.

 Frank Grillo’s presence in the film is great value addition, said Nolan Pielak, senior vice president of International Distribution at Electric Entertainment. He added that the actor’s international popularity and the growing interest in action films will work in favour of Hounds of War. 

Putzlocher concurred with him, praising Grillo’s commitment to the script and his experience in the action genre. The filming will begin at the end of this year in Malta.
