Before the release of this movie, Lions Gate Films set up two official websites: one conventional site with movie information, and one site that appeared to be a promotional tool for the (fictional) cloning institute depicted in the movie. The website gave an email address and phone number (1-888-699-2672) for the "Godsend Institute;" calling the number resulted in a recorded message giving the institute's office hours. Several news outlets reported that when a few bereaved parents called or emailed the fake institute to inquire about having their children genetically reconstituted, the studio started responding to them and explaining that it was just a movie tie-in and not a real laboratory. Similar advertisements for fictional medical procedures and clinics were also produced as parts of the advertising campaigns for Gattaca (1997) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).

Five different endings were shot for this movie and the released one is the tamest one.

The snow scene in the graveyard was unplanned. It was hoped the snow would remain until the scene was completed, and it was.

When Paul steps out of his car on the bridge, Adam's bicycle moves from the middle of the bridge to the side of the bridge, but we don't see anybody move the bicycle.

On the bridge, after looking down at Roy's body, as the camera moves towards Adam in the car, a shadow of the camera is revealed on the car (lower left side of the screen).

When Paul and Dr. Wells get into the fight in the church immediately after the funeral, all the people attending the funeral and the church employees are suddenly gone.

Paul Duncan: I swear, I'll tell the whole goddamn world what you've done.

Adam Duncan: Dad, did I die?

Adam Duncan: [in a trance] Boobies!
