Nicolas Cage turned it down before it went to Keanu Reeves
The vodka brand Sibirskaya Rosa ("Siberian Dew", with the slogan "Truly Russian. Crystal-clear vodka") that appears in shot several times does not exist in reality.
The film was shot in Winnipeg, Canada in April 2017
"I feel sorry for the bird," a Russian saying, was heard after the toast: "And so when the flock of birds headed south for the winter, one small but proud bird said, I will fly straight to the sun! She flew higher and higher, but very soon she burned her wings and fell to the very bottom of a deep gorge. So let us drink to this: let not a single one of us ever break away from the collective, no matter how high he flies!"
One of three Keanu Reeves films that Nicolas cage turned down. The other two were The Matrix (1999) and Constantine (2005).
