What's left behind the scenes
- Even at the scriptwriting stage, the lead role was intended for Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn. However, when he shaved his head, it turned out that he didn't look threatening. Upon learning this, Russell Crowe also shaved his head and convinced director Jeffrey Wright to reconsider his decision. Ultimately, the role went to Crowe.
- To save money, the film was shot over six weeks on 'Super 16' film stock.
