It was bankrolled by, and filmed in, Saudi Arabia.

Good riddance.

Yeah, and it's absolutely hilarious the way this movie was intended to be their big tentpole movie to announce that there's a new big budget studio in town.

Everything that has anything to do with th Neom project has been just a waste of money, and further sets back the Saudi Royal Family's goals of remaining rich and influential even after their oil stops flowing.
