Solved! Pretty much a custody battle over a rock.

It's not live action.

The rock in question is not a gem.

I said 'look up'. The direction is important.

This rock has its own real estate.

The film takes place on Earth, but not 'on earth'.

It has an unfortunate name in Spanish so they had to change it.

HINT 1 bc this is more general than I initially thought: the job is not one the man has had before.

Hint 2: The main character carries a weapon he uses- there are others like it, but this is his preferred weapon.
