![Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise - Premiere Magazine Cover [France] (July 2010)](http://img3.bdbphotos.com/images/130x130/i/0/i0ozsvbg39mzzo3v.jpg?skj2io4l)
- Tom Cruise wanted to do another spy thriller, but he thought Salt (2010) and The Tourist (2010) were too similar to his Mission: Impossible (1996) franchise. He ultimately chose this project once it became an espionage thriller with comic elements.
- Tom Cruise dropped out of The Tourist (2010), which was being extensively rewritten by Christopher McQuarrie, to do this film.
- Over 12 writers worked on the film but the Writers Guild of America ruled that only one of them - Patrick O'Neill - should be credited. Some of the other uncredited writers were Scott Frank, Laeta Kalogridis, Ted Griffin, Dana Fox and Simon Kinberg.
- All the car crashes were recorded on studio lots and digitally imposed in the film.
- Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz did a majority of the stunts on their own. Both Cruise and Diaz are avid drivers and have experience in doing sharp turns and 180's.
