Facts & Trivia - Based on the novel of the same name by Steven Gould.
- Evan Rachel Wood turned down the role of 'Millie'.
- Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen were recast in the lead roles by director Doug Liman in secret; they originally went to Tom Sturridge and Teresa Palmer -- 2 months of filming and inflating production costs were a factor, the other being Liman wanted an 'older' cast (mid twenties as opposed to early twenties.)
- The crew was allowed to film inside the Colosseum for three days under the condition that no equipment could be placed on the ground. Shooting was allowed only between 6.30 and 8.30 am and again at 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm to avoid disturbing tourists. The only lighting allowed was natural sunlight.
- There is potential for a sequel, or two!
