Development: Principal photography was scheduled to begin on September 7, 2010, in the Serbian capital city Belgrade. Much of the filming utilized Green screens, rather than practical sets. The intended scenes were storyboarded in Dublin, Ireland to aid the actors in visualizing how the green screen scenes would appear after the completion of the CGI in post-production. Speaking about the experience, Grace stated: "You just have to suspend the voice in your head because you feel so silly reacting to nothing there. Having whole conversations with people that aren’t there. I felt a little crazy the first time around. Luc Besson produced the film. Besson also co-wrote the script with James Mather and Stephen St. Leger. Leger directed the film. FilmDistrict purchased the distribution rights to the film for a limited amount. In December 2011, FilmDistrict reached a deal to distribute its 2012 films including Lockout through Open Road Films for a fee.

Critical reception: Lockout received generally mixed to negative reviews. The film earned a score of 48 out of 100 from 32 critics on review aggregate website Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average"reviews. It also garnered 35% approval from 112 critics on Rotten Tomatoes – an average score of 5 out of 10 – whose consensus reads: "Guy Pearce does the best he can with what he's given, but Lockout is ultimately too derivative and shallow to build on the many sci-fi thrillers it borrows from CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was a "B-" on an A+ to F scale.
