The film was produced by J. J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber and written by Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith.
Along with being announced as the director of The Heavy, a Paramount and Bad Robot production, Avery had been recruited by 20th Century Fox to write and direct a remake of Flash Gordon alongside Matthew Vaughn who was to be producing.[5][6] However, following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox's assets, the film was cancelled.
