In the film, a hitman (Sylvester Stallone) teams with a young NYPD detective (Sung Kang) in a high-stakes investigation that leads from the dingy back alleys of New Orleans all the way to the power corridors of New Orleans. The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.
Thomas Jane was originally cast for the part that would eventually go to Sung Kang. The recast was done at the insistence of producer Joel Silver stating a need for a "more 'ethnic' actor" to appeal to a wider audience.[1][2]
The film is based on Alexis Nolent's French graphic novel Du Plomb Dans La Tete, translated as "Bullet to the Head", with the script written by Alessandro Camon.[3] The producing team previously produced the film I Am Number Four. An executive attached to the film has said, "[This movie] is exactly the type of fast-paced, universally themed project that suits our business model. Sylvester Stallone is an international icon and we're really excited to be in business with him."[4] Originally Wayne Kramer was attached to direct, but left the project when his vision of the film was darker than Stallone wanted.[5]
Bullet to the Head was shot in New Orleans and it is to be released in 2012, and it started filming on June 27, 2011.[4] On August 23, 2011, it was announced that the film would be released on April 13, 2012.[6][7]
