What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on a screenplay that made it onto the Hollywood Black List—an annual list of the best unproduced scripts. Originally, the action was meant to take place in Los Angeles, but during preparation, the story was completely reworked for Australia. This allowed the creators to film action scenes on the streets of Brisbane and the Gold Coast with minimal use of computer graphics.
