The script was written by Raul Inglis. The film co-stars David Lewis, Samantha Ferris, and Bo Svenson. The film centers around Edward Genn, a former Soviet hitman known as "Icarus". After the collapse of the Soviet Empire, he moved to the United States to begin a new life. But after many years, his past has finally caught up with him.On August 8, 2008, Lundgren signed a contract with Insight Film Studios to direct and star in Icarus. Produced on a $6 million budget, and filming began in October 2008 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Filming was expected to last "about" five weeks, but reportedly wrapped after 18 days.
