What's left behind the scenes

  • Art, played by Jamie Foxx, drives a blue pickup truck with “Supermarch Pool Cleaners” written on the door. Supermarch was a company involved in the film's production.
  • The film's directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, had planned from the beginning to cast Jamie Foxx in the lead role.
  • When Frank, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, says, “You know what happened last time New Orleans trusted guys in suits,” it’s a reference to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and how poorly the U.S. government handled its devastating consequences.
  • In one of the scenes, a line spoken by Gardner, played by Amy Landecker, references the case of Henrietta Lacks. This African American woman, who died of cancer without knowing it herself, became a donor of biological material during treatment in 1951. Her story is told in George C. Wolfe's television drama "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" (2017), which features Kayan Simone in one of the roles (where she played Tracey).
