• The actress who played Hanna, Tovah Stewart, is deaf in real life, as are her parents.
• Michael Shannon's character takes pills. In reality, he is swallowing Tic Tac mints.
• The insurance agency helping the girl with the cost of a cochlear implant actually exists and has several branches in Ohio, where the filming took place.
• The scene in which Michael Shannon’s character watches all the furniture in the living room rise into the air was created using computer technology. To work on it, a contract was concluded with Hydraulx Entertainment, whose heads, the Strauss brothers, became the film’s executive producers. The Strausses later claimed that this single scene contained more computer graphics than any scene in “Avatar” (James Cameron, 2009).
