When Harris' superior (Jason Isaacs) is murdered, he finds himself the scapegoat for the killing of a detainee (Barkhad Abdi) and must run from a team of operatives sent to bring him in (Adan Canto, Katie Cassidy, Rhys Coiro), led by a ruthless double agent (Annie Ilonzeh).

The independent film Agent Game was announced on March 5, 2021, when it was reported that Mel Gibson, Dermot Mulroney, Katherine McNamara, Rhys Coiro, and Annie Ilonzeh had been cast in the project from director Grant S. Johnson and writers Mike Langer and Tyler W. Konney.[1] Soon after, Katie Cassidy, Jason Isaacs, Barkhad Abdi, and Adan Canto joined the cast.[2][3]

Filming[]

Principal photography for the film began in Augusta, Georgia on March 29, 2021, and concluded the following month on April 23.[4] Filming locations included the Evans suburb, Augusta University at 699 Broad Street for dialogue scenes, Thomson-McDuffie Regional Airport, the Augusta Canal, and a warehouse replicating a European airplane hangar in downtown Augusta, where a shootout scene and multiple explosions were shot.[5][6][7] The Sibley Mill was also used to create the "secret spy detention center" in the film.[7] As a result of gunfire, a letter was sent to local residents, where Gibson was seen firing a prop gun multiple times towards a moving vehicle.[6][8][9]

In shooting the film in Georgia, production manager Mark Crump said he spoke with line producer Warren Ostergard to take the project to the state.[7] Konney, who also co-produced the film, said that the production would help the economy of the consolidated city-county, with the Film Augusta designee, Jennifer Bowen, estimating the city would earn $1 million.[7] In a separate interview, Konney also mentioned that the project was able to hire local people from Augusta for every department in the film, allowing the production crew to accomplish their "big ambitions".[10]
