Sgt Rock starring Colin Farrell is not shelved
According to a report in Deadline, Sgt Rock was due to begin production in the UK. However, a decision was taken to hit pause on the film after they decided it was not possible to begin filming this summer in August, as more pre-production time was required and they would not be able to make their deadlines. Furthermore, shooting in the UK winter is also not feasible. Therefore, filming has been pushed to next summer instead.
The report also states that director Guadagnino was already scouting locations in the UK. The studio was also pursuing deals with Alien: Romulus star David Jonsson and Challengers actor Mike Faist to join Farrell on the $65 million budget film. Since Sgt Rock has fallen through, Guadagnino is reportedly moving ahead with the American Psycho remake.
