Trivia
When Brandon Beckner came to Jerod Foos with some of the soundtrack suggestions, Foos decided to contribute a number of pieces of music on his own since he was also an experienced musician as well as business entrepreneur.

Goofs
In the original screenplay an earthquake is supposed to occur at one point. This was taken out of the final movie edit. One of the scenes shows the actors trying to keep their balance to show that an earthquake was occurring. The scene was kept in the final version.

Alternate versions
The initial film was nearly 2 plus hours long. The editing was key to hone it down to 90 minutes! All of the people at CAA and some of our distribution partners all needed it to get shorter. That was a fantastic lesson in negotiation within our internal team!-Jerod Foos, Executive Producer.

Soundtracks

Impressive Dark Comedy

Get Back Jack is a dark comedy on an epic scale. Set in Los Angeles, it makes use of many different locations and neighborhoods throughout the city. The story unfolds in a way you don't expect, centered on a late night talk show host (a great performance by Kevin Nealon), then expanding to many different characters in a complicated plot. I liked the structure of the chronology. And there were some very unique moments, such as the scene in the batting cage. Overall I thought the script and the editing were excellent. The directing was good and the acting was solid by the whole cast. If you're looking for an epic dark comedy, check this movie out!
