Amy Sumner: Every chair was my daddy's chair.
- This is the second film in which 'James Marsden' and Kate Bosworth play a couple together - the first was Superman Returns (2006).
- Dustin Hoffman, who starred in (and famously disliked) the original film, gave Rod Lurie his blessing.
- The book that David has next to him on the kitchen table when he is working early in the movie is 'Stalingrad' by Anthony Beevor.
- The famous quote "I will not allow violence against this house" is not in the version shown in theaters.
- The film, a remake of the controversially violent 1971 movie, is considered fairly faithful to Sam Peckinpah's original, though the location has been moved from Cornwall, England to the U.S. Mississippi Gulf Coast, and the hero's profession has been changed from mathematician to screenwriter.
