In this movie, Paul Dano plays the older brother of Pell James' character. James is actually seven years older than Dano in real life.

James Marsh did not know the real age of the actress Pell James, who was playing 17-year-old Malerie Sandow, was until the end of the shoot, when she gave him a Thank You card revealing her true age. Marsh said that it was better that he didn't know as it would have proved a distraction.
