“An epic, action film like “AGENT 47” demands a global scale. To be the first American studio film to present this truly unique locale as a backdrop is an incredible opportunity. The Singapore Media Development Authority (MDA) was supportive, from our initial visit to Singapore, all the way through to completion of production. Combined with the terrific, enthusiastic local crew, Singapore was a success for our film,” commented Executive Producer Michael Hendrickson.
The film was shot in Singapore in 2014.
