Trivia

Helen Mirren's role was originally written for a male actor

Due to budgetary restrictions during the six-week shoot, actors often worked individually. For example, when Helen Mirren is in the decision room, she was actually speaking in real time to the film's director, Gavin Hood, and facing a green screen with a red 'X' designating her line of focus.

Oliver Hirschbiegel and Tarsem Singh were previously attached to direct.
