Many scenes were shot in the the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner building, which has been used almost exclusively as a film location since the notorious Los Angeles newspaper, once owned by William Randolph Hearst, closed down in 1989.

The film contains 117 visual effects shots, all of which are designed to be "invisible". When the Visual Effects Supervisor, Kwesi Collisson, solicited bids from VFX houses, he received an initial estimated VFX budget of over $1 million, followed by a $400,000 "low budget" estimate. Mr. Collisson decided to execute all of the effects himself, spending four months using Adobe After Effects and Shake software to complete the necessary shots.

The final shot in the movie was the only one captured with a single camera. Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter were shot in the back of one taxi on set. In post production, the shot was digitally divided in two; digital movement was added for each car and two separate background plates were composited to create the illusion of different taxi interiors.

Woman: The illusion of effortlessness requires a great effort indeed.

Man: Why did you come, really?

Man: [on relationships] In my opinion, when it gets too serious, it's over.
