Marco van Belle (Arthur & Merlin) wrote the movie. The project came to Amazon MGM Studios from Academy Award-winning and Golden Globe Award-winning producer Charles Roven (American Hustle), who earned an Academy Award for Best Picture on Oppenheimer last year. Charles Roven is producing Mercy with Atlas Entertainment executive Robert Amidon, alongside Bekmambetov and Majd Nassif.
