Production

In 2013, Jeff Buhler (The Midnight Meat Train) was reported as writing a script for LD Entertainment's new version of Jacob's Ladder, which is based on an earlier draft by Jake Wade Wall. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "the producers are looking to make something more akin to an homage and not mimic the original. The plan is to contemporize the story with new situations and characters but still maintain a story that examines issues and poses existential questions."[6] James Foley has been attached to direct the project.[7]

Buhler said that since, due to two recent wars, the American "cultural understanding of the experience of warfare and what it does to people mentally" has become "a completely different place than it was" in 1990, he decided to not be "necessarily going to the same conclusion, and finding a new way to give the audience an experience that is similar in terms of impact and feeling, but that doesn't play the same tune. It was a very tricky situation in the sense that we were trying to recreate something, but honor the spirit and concept (of the original), while telling a different story."[8]

On March 21, 2016, it was announced Michael Ealy had joined the cast of the film, with David M. Rosenthal directing.[2] On April 18, 2016, Jesse Williams and Nicole Beharie joined the cast of the film.[3] On June 7, 2016, Guy Burnet joined the cast of the film.[5] On June 27, 2016, Karla Souza joined the cast of the film.[4] Principal photography began on May 2, 2016.[9]
