Production
The film was written by Tom Teves and Joe D'Ambrosia and directed by Jack Perez. The initial idea of the film originated in Summer 2007, when The Asylum announced that the film will be released by February 14, 2012 as Destruction: Las Vegas. Suddenly in Summer 2010, it didn't work due to Grimm's Snow White being produced for that time. By Fall 2010, the producers announced for a tentative Spring 2013 airdate on TNT. Filming began around Spring 2012. Base FX and R-Team provided visual effects and CGI Animation for the film. On Fall 2012, Syfy acquired the rights to air the film by July 18, 2013.
