They split following the 2000 Mel Gibson film The Patriot, but re-teamed to film Independence Day: Resurgence in 2015.[4] Devlin has also produced Cellular, Who Killed the Electric Car?, and Flyboys.[5]


Devlin's directorial debut was the action sci-fi film Geostorm for Warner Bros.[6] The film was set for a March 2016 release,[7] later rescheduled for October 2017. It starred Gerard Butler as the lead [6] with Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Ed Harris and Andy García.[8] The film made $221-million on a $120-million budget.[9]


Devlin's second film as director was the 2018 thriller Bad Samaritan, starring Robert Sheehan and David Tennant.[10]
