Synopsis[edit]

"When a simultaneous coordinated attack then threatens the base itself, Collins comes face-to-face with the charismatic yet crooked Alexander Kessel (Luke Bracey), a former US military intelligence officer intent on carrying out an unthinkable plan.
With only minutes on the clock, Collins must utilize her years of tactical training and military expertise to determine who she can trust and stop Kessel and his covert mercenaries from completing their twisted and terrible mission.”

Production[edit]
Reilly began writing the screenplay for Interceptor in 2017. The script's action took place predominantly on one set, as Reilly wanted to ensure that the film's budget would not go over $15 million. Beattie was brought on board after Reilly sent him a copy of the script; after reading a few pages Beattie stated that he "called him up and I said, 'I absolutely love it. Can I re-write it?' He was like, 'Yeah, sure, go for it'."[5][6]
Beattie shared the script with producers, who were told that Reilly intended to serve as director. Reilly experienced some pushback on this, but was successful in maintaining his position as director. The film was greenlit by Netflix and Elsa Pataky was signed to perform as the lead character, JJ Collins. She prepared for the role by training for up to five hours each day with the help of her husband, Chris Hemsworth,[7] who also served as an executive producer.[8]
Filming took place in New South Wales, Australia over a period of 33 days,[5] beginning on 29 March 2021.[9]
Release[edit]
Interceptor will be released globally to streaming platform Netflix on 3 June 2022.[6] Plans to release the film theatrically in Australia in 2021 were announced,[10] but fell through.
