A film adaptation of the Black Mask Studios graphic novel 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank by Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss[1] was announced as it sought financing and distribution at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. The project was set for Frankie Shaw to make her directorial debut after she had worked on the screenplay originally adapted by Matt Robinson. Attached to star were Liam Neeson, Talia Ryder, Noah Jupe, Whitney Peak, Jack Dylan Grazer, Deacon Phillipe, and Teresa Palmer.[2][3] By December 2024, Jupe is no longer listed to star.[4]

Filming began in December 2024 in Limerick, Ireland, where the city was set up to appear as the United States in the 1990s.[5] Additional filming took place in Cratloe Woods of County Clare.[6] Robert Richardson served as the cinematographer.[7] Filming also took place at Castletroy College, one of Limericks leading post primary schools.

Release

In December 2024, Amazon MGM Studios acquired domestic distribution rights to the film under its Orion Pictures label, with Miramax boarding the film as producer and co-financier.[4] It is scheduled to be released in 2027.[8] It was originally scheduled to be released in August 2026[9] and April 17, 2026.[10]
