- To secure a product placement deal with Volkswagen, the production was required to feature one of their cars for 9 minutes.
- During the metro scene there is a larger picture of a beach visible for a moment with the subtitle M.5, hinting the plot twist at the end of the movie.
- Part of the film's promotion was a seven minute comic released on Apple.com.
- Note that Jude Law's character does not have a name (a similar situation in the book). The mystery effect was somewhat ruined when marketing inserted a name for him in the film's first trailer.
- Despite the fact that this was filmed with Hawk anamorphic lenses, "Filmed in Panavision" is listed in the end credits.
