The filmmaker has quietly directed an indie feature starring Jon Voight, described a father-son story set amid the backdrop of the Israel occupation of Lebanon in the '70s or '80s. Variety was the first to report the news of the project, which does not yet have a release plan nor other available details. The indie feature does not mark a return to Hollywood, but it is still a noteworthy development for Singer, who at his height was an in-demand director known for $1 billion properties such as the X-Men franchise, high-profile projects such as Superman Returns and Tom Cruise's Valkyrie and Oscar winners like The Usual Suspects.

That began to crumble in late 2017, when 20th Century Fox fired Singer as director of Bohemian Rhapsody amid absences from set. Though filmmaker Dexter Fletcher stepped in to complete the film, Singer ultimately retained director credit on the project, which won four Oscars and earned $910 million globally. Singer was able to land another high-profile job, directing the Millennium Films feature Red Sonja, only to lose it amid an Atlantic report detailing allegations of sexual misconduct involving minors, which he has denied. Singer, who has no agent after being dropped by WME, has not directed a film since. The filmmaker has been living away from Hollywood in Israel for the past several years, where among other projects, he has toyed with making a documentary in which he would address claims of sexual misconduct against him.
