The Informer is directed by Andrea Di Stefano (Escobar: Paradise Lost) from a screenplay he co-wrote with Matt Cook and Rowan Joffe. It is produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Mark Lane, Robert Jones, James Harris, Ollie Madden, and Wayne Marc Godfrey.
Before landing its current release date, the film has been delayed six times from 2018 up to this year due to its previous U.S. distributor’s financial issues. Recently, Vertical Entertainment and Noriva have teamed together to officially acquire the rights to the film’s North American rights.
